Observation from last nights Twins' game...
I had the opportunity to go to last nights Twins game, just my second of the season, which puts me way behind my normal pace. Here's a few observations I made during the game:
- I hate the Metrodump as much as the next person, but honestly, last night in Minneapolis, it was miserable outside, and it was a releif to be in the air-conditioned 68 degrees of the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Dome.
- JC Romero - Ugh. 4 batters faced. 3 of them left-handed (Kotsay, Chavez, Dan Johnson). 0 outs. 2 runs allowed. Gave up the lead inning after Cuddyer hits a monster homerun to tie it. If there's any truth to the rumor that we could have had Youkilis for him, I'm gonna be sick. I don't see how Boston would do that, I think they'd want more, say like Joe Mays in that deal...
- Speaking of Joe Mays - pitched great for the first 5 innings. I may be wrong on this, but it seems like that's his limit now. And this is one of the guys keeping Baker and/or Liriano out of the rotation.
- Terry Mulholland. I am begging someone to please tell me why he has a spot on a major league roster? I really want to know if there is any justification for that, especially when we've got someone like Bowyer in AAA.
- Jason Bartlett - Hit the ball hard, but for outs. Made some pretty solid to outstanding plays in the field. One game, but pretty encouraging.

ugh...
As for Mulholland, I am with you. Lets just DFA him and bring up the young guys.
I don't mind sticking with Mays, to see if he would be able to help next year. He does do well, if limited in innings, like you said.
I couldn't believe the rumors that Terry Ryan asked for Annibal Sanchez along with Youkillis for Romero. IF TRUE, what would make Ryan think the Sox would ever go for that?
Youkilis
