Liking Bartlett but Questioning Garza

Here is a good post from a sister blog here on SBNation. It (briefly) discusses some statistical points of both Delmon Young's and Matt Garza's performances this year so far.

Tolbert Possibly Headed to DL

Toss another one on the pile. It looks like Tolbert injured his left thumb diving head-first into first base on the final play against Toronto on Thursday.

How many times do we need to say it? BASEBALL 101: DON'T DIVE F*£%&$T HEAD-FIRST INTO ANY BASE, ESPECIALLY FIRST BASE.

Twins Insider: Tolbert to DL, Mauer hurt?

LENIII is reporting that Matt Tolbert injured his thumb sliding into first in the final game of the Toronto series at the Dome. Also, there's concern that Joe Mauer may have strained his neck during early BP and may be scratched from the lineup.

When I wrote that this 40-games-in-41-days stretch would likely turn into a Bataan Death March, I certainly didn't expect the baseball gods to take me literally.

Tyner rips Twins for letting him go

The Tyniest Outfielder isn't happy about the Twins' letting him go - at all. "I thought I did my job. I guess they didn’t think about that when they made the decision. I’d like to get a shot at them. I know that," he said.

Punto Headed to 15-Day DL

As the plague takes out yet another player, the Twins will this time look to Alexi Casilla to step into whatever void Punto had been filling. Casilla was scratched from his game Saturday night, and was hitting .219/.350/.250 in 96 at-bats with the Rochester Red Wings. He was only 4/7 in stolen base attempts, but had a perfectly even 1:1 walk-to-strikeout ratio.

After initially injuring the arm Wednesday in Chicago, Punto tested the arm Saturday with negative results. With his injury and Brendan Harris out due to a tight hamstring, the Twins were limite to Craig Monroe and Mike Redmond off the bench Saturday night.

Pitcher Analysis: Nick Blackburn

Lots of content for everyone today! At the end of April, Driveline Mechanics posted their analysis and breakdown of Blackburn, his results and his mechanics. It's a superb look, and even though it takes a few minutes to get through it's worth the investment. It's really excellent work.

Gavin Floyd, Really?

Over at South Side Sox, The Cheat walks us through Floyd's great start to the season, and his ownership of the Twins offense Tuesday night. It's a good read.
