What if? It is a question asked much too often among sports fans. This time, however, it is legitimate. The Minnesota Twins were a very talented, balanced, and well-coached team last season. So, what if Francisco Liriano had even a semi-productive '09 season? Would they have made the World Series or possibly even won it? I think so. In 2006, Liriano posted a record of 12-3 with a 2.16 ERA.  This past season, he simply didn't have it, night...

Jean’s application for a work visa was approved Friday by the U.S. Consulate in the Dominican Republic. Obtaining the visa was the final hurdle that needed to be cleared to finalize the deal. Jean’s deal included a $3.15 million bonus, which was the largest awarded to...  

Proving the theory that there is no off-season in baseball, the Arizona Fall, Venezuelan Winter, Mexican Winter, and Dominican Winter Leagues are already up and running, even before the World Series ends. The Arizona Fall League, Major League Baseball's official off-season league, is structured in such a way that teams send all their players to one team. This is not the case with the other leagues, which have no formal affiliation with the...  

Thanksgiving is upon us once again. We all know that Thanksgiving is supposed to be about families and turkeys and a rapidly-depleting supply of shopping days until Christmas, but—in the minds of baseball fans—Thanksgiving is just a pit stop between the end of awards season and the beginning of the Winter Meetings. I’ve decided to combine the more traditional Thanksgiving festivities with my burning need for more baseball. In doing so, I’ve...  

What do Brendan Harris and Gene Larkin have in common?In a perfect world, the answer would be simple: nothing (aside from having last names that sort of seem like they could be first names, but don’t completely seem like they could be first names). The correct answer, however, is that both players were the best option off the bench for their respective Twins teams. For the 1991 Twins, this was a good thing. For the 2009 Twins, this was…well...

If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.   This famous saying serves not only as a motivational tool, but also as a solid offseason philosophy for small-market general managers.   Twins’ general manager Bill Smith has made overtures for current free-agent third baseman Adrian Beltre on two previous occasions and—if he’s smart—will be making one final effort this winter.   The Twins were linked to Beltre at the 2008 trade deadline and...
