There is little chance Blackie can have a Perkins-like turnaround in the bullpen, he doesn't have the arm to uncork a mid-90s fastball with movement like Perkins can from the pen.<br /><br />Slama is done in the organization because they know he will get shelled in the big leagues.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11215059.post-63430782211107047882012-01-04T08:51:01.231-06:002012-01-04T08:51:01.231-06:00I'd probably add Terry Doyle and Luis Perdomo ...I'd probably add Terry Doyle and Luis Perdomo in the list at this point. I seriously want to see Blackburn having to compete for and win and not handed a rotation job like last season. If he ends up in the pen, he can possibly turn it around like Perkins (whose K/9 was Blackburnesque as a starter as well...) For some reason, I also like Brendan Wise an Aussie MiLB free agent they recently signed and invited in ST. I agree with TT.

And its not just the Twins who aren't impressed, 29 other teams passed on the chance to grab him off waivers.<br /><br />On the other hand, Esmerling Vasquez looks like a real candidate if he can find the plate consistently. That's a big if, but I think he is at least as good a gamble as Burton who had the same problem even when healthy.TThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05093249764311819252noreply@blogger.com
