Curry named the team's RF largely because of his positional versatility (see Morneau injury), and feeling by scouts that he is a "winner" who makes those around him better. I gotta say when I clicked on the article I would have never have guessed Cuddyer was going to be one of the picks.

Awarded by the Boston Chapter of the BBWAA. Congratulations Pavstache.

I wonder what will happen to him next? For as much time as he's bounced around - forever being on the cusp of getting a chance as a big league 4th outfielder - he still has only gotten 6 PA's to date (all with the Twins) and 0 hits. Would suck to have gotten to the bigs & never gotten a hit. Hope a team somewhere takes a flier on Jason.

Two years, $16.5m + .5m in incentives. Welcome back, Carl. (thanks Luke in MN for providing numbers)

The Twins have signed Matt Capps and Glen Perkins to 1-year contracts, worth $7.15M and $700k, respectively. Capps' price surprised me a bit - I was hoping that they could get him signed for $6M or so.

Over at SBN sabermetrics site Beyond the Boxscore, Dave Gershman runs a simulation of the arbitration process for the Twins lefty. Outlining mandates by the Collective Bargaining Agreement, he runs through everything both the Twins and Liriano need to consider (and not consider) as they submit their respective potential 2011 salaries, in the end coming to the conclusion that he's worth of $6.5 million this season (sans extension). A great read, particularly as I'll be submitting my arbitration salary predictions later today.
