Dayn Perry of FoxSports.com linked it in an article on the As and Twins, in which he extolled the "blended philosophy" of Twins GM Terry Ryan.<BR/><BR/>In the article, an interview with Ryan, Ryan says that indeed values OBP and does statistical evaluations on everyone. I'm not sure how to read into this, since he did after all sign Tony Batista, but it is interesting.Nick M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05029328242185237902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-1158846319712314232006-09-21T08:45:00.000-05:002006-09-21T08:45:00.000-05:00Yeah SBG going to agree with you there. But there ...Yeah SBG going to agree with you there. But there is nothing wrong with that. With Liriano and Garza, we already have two potential top-of-the-rotation guys behind Santana. (I say Liriano not because he hasn't proven himself to be a very good pitcher, but because no one can predict injuries and top of the rotation guys shouldn't be injured all the time) Bonser is on the right track, so all we need now is for Baker to do the same or maybe Perkins or Slowey.<BR/><BR/>You'll notice I don't mention Silva, but that is because I still don't trust his stuff. I have no reason yet to believe he is "back to form" because I'm not sure he even had anything too special and because 2005 was a fluke. Guys don't have season with that little amount of walks very often and Silva isn't going to repeat that feat.Nick M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05029328242185237902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-1158837953565562012006-09-21T06:25:00.000-05:002006-09-21T06:25:00.000-05:00Good write up.

I don't think he's a top of the rotation guy, but he looks like a solid middle of the rotation guy. I thought he threw he breaking ball quite effectively last night.SBGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01163925336991434440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-1158821962111902542006-09-21T01:59:00.000-05:002006-09-21T01:59:00.000-05:00You're right.

Who would've thought with that horrendous start that the Twins would be within two games of the league's best record with 10 games left?<BR/><BR/>Unbelievable.Nick N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00848574337121154690noreply@blogger.com
