The purveyor of Twins Almanac is also a treasure trove for unique players-recently he posted a 1964 HR leaders that featured several Twins on the board along with several other fairly obscure players. I need to study up on it, as it’s getting harder and harder to identify new players for the grid.Like I haven’t thought about that

I thought I had it with legendary naughty name Rusty K. but turns out I had already used him. My Twins/Cleveland was unique-early era relief ace and Nimrod, MN’s pride, Dick Stigman.
Maybe in July. Doubt it happens now.
Foul ball/broken foot is on my BINGO card.

Should have traded him in the window when was healthy.
Hopefully Ryan's MRI will have less dire news than Lopez.
Ryan (low back tightness) scratched from Spring Training debut
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The Twins scratched ace Joe Ryan from his scheduled start against the Red Sox shortly before first pitch on Saturday due to what the club is calling “low back tightness in his right side.” Ryan began his warmups prior to the game but was replaced as
Skip the intercontinental championship, not worth the risk and he was already Olympic Team (or something similar)
I’m pegging him, Taj Mahal and SWR to fill out the rotation behind Ryan & Ober.
I think Zebby is probably in line to get the 5th spot to start the season.
I think it will be Ryan, Ober, SWR, Bradley and Matthews to start the year. Festa is still recovering from a shoulder issue and they're always extra cautious at the beginning of the year. Matthews is more experienced than Abel so I think they will go that direction to start with anyways. I think Abel still gets lots of opportunities as they season goes along though.

Good logic.
Not a sure thing by any means. If Abel looks great all spring and Zebby is bad, you never know what they decide. But Matthews is the likely favorite at this point.
David Festa “Gradually Ramping Up” While Working Back From Shoulder Issue
The Twins right-hander is working back from shoulder nerve compression while competing for the final rotation spot.
I wonder if they’ll use it to eventually weed out the bad ones
Phil Cuzzi just retired. Not a coincidence.
Imagine if Angel Hernandez was still around. His games would be 4 hrs long.
Make it be tough for them to send you to St. Paul
