Did Twins Lie To Rays about Garza's Health?

So with Garza now currently on the 15 day DL, because of a pinched nerve in his right (throwing) arm. Was it or was it not a direct result from last season's late arm problems?

Obviously Ron Gardenhire has stated he had NO idea about any such thing concerning Garza and claims if Garza's telling the Truth he should have told the Twins about his arm.

My take on it is that Someone in the Twins organization knew something about Garza that the Rays did not before dealing him anyway to the Rays for essentialy DelmonYoung.

But Hey, the Rays knew that Matt Garza had neck Problems and other little nagging injuries early on in 2007 anyway...and its not like the Twinks are taking in return  some kind of guaranteed superstar or guaranteeed "good guy' -clubhouse leader in Delmon.

Thoughts?

and in your opinion who will have the Better Career?

1. Garza or Young?

2. Eduardo Morlan or Brendon Harris?

Over Under on Livan Hernandez in a Twins uniform.

Now that the Twins have signed Livan Hernandez, a veteran innings eater who is sure to have around a 5 ERA or higher this season.

The question is this over/under on Livan Hernandez pitching with the Twins past the Trade Deadling on July 21st? I say Under; I think he may be out before then, around the All-star break. He will be flat out realesed...and not even traded for anything of value, but thats just me. Thoughts?

How many more moves are coming from Bill Smith?

I can't see it, I just can't really see it. To me, the Twins are setting themselves up for another move or two before the 2008 season begins; likely with the Athletics, or Orioles, maybe the Pirates...

I know a forum group of Pirate Fans that LOVE Wilson Ramos and would probably be willing to ship Ian Snell to the Twinks for Gomez, Ramos, and Plouffe...ironically all position players.
I think thats too expensive, but at the same time.....

Well, that is enough said from me.

What are your guys' thoughts? Any more moves coming for the Twins?

Looking at some A- ball pitchers

I want to get some opinons, on a few of these guys...

I left out Manship, and Robertson as I'd figure everyone would vote for them, but, honestly I don't see J. Manship as an ace or #2. Same goes for T. Robertson, (well maybe a #2)

I think these guys are young enough, to still take strides and leaps and bounds in 2008.
