I forget which one of you loves the Twins bullpen arms, but here comes another one. And hes a sidearmer

 

The Twins called up righthanded reliever Pat Neshek, a native of Brooklyn Park, on Thursday.

Neshek was 6-2 with a 1.95 ERA at Class AAA Rochester, N.Y. He replaces pitcher Boof Bonser, who was sent to Rochester on Wednesday, on the roster.

 

Neshek, 25, struck out four batters in three perfect innings for his 14th save Wednesday night as the Red Wings beat Pawtucket 5-3. He has been a closer in five stops in the Twins' system -- Elizabethton, Quad Cities, Fort Myers, New Britain and Rochester.

 

Neshek, who graduated from Park Center High School in 1999, was third in strikeouts in the International League with 87 in 60 innings.

yeah i look forward to seeing who they put in the 5 spot after the ASG, and Pat Neshek looks to be solid. I'm still wondering whats going to happen to former twins prospect Travis Bowyer, I know hes with the marlins now, but hes basicly a Jenks/Turnbow clone, i hope he makes with the marlins.

It sounded like Scott Baker or Boof Bonser would be recalled to the team after the all star break

 

that would mean the Twins would either have to send someone down (Willie Eyre) or trade someone (Shannon Stewart, Kyle Lohse, Rondell White)

 

Kyle Lohse has to be pretty much on his last leg up there, right?

Twins are going to lose another one

 

its 9-4 Rangers in the bottom of 8

 

Carlos Silva 'hurt' his knee, but he was sucking. I hope he is out of the rotation soon.

 

Justin Morneau absolutly demolished a ball for a HR

 

and NESHEK (!) pitched and made all the Twins bloggers happy

Ozzie's decision to choose Mark over guys like Liriano is looking worse and worse. Liriano manhandling a good Texas offense on the road. Through 5 innings he has given up 2 hits, 0 ERs and struck out 7 while lowering his ERA to 1.88.

 

EDIT: I'm not one to believe in jinxs but hopefully my post just did that to Liriano. He just walked 2 guys to start the 6th. :)

with 7 IP tonight, Liriano again qualifies to be on the ERA leaderboard (he fell off the board during the week)

he also passed 100 strikeouts for the season

 

yeah, but where would he play on the Sox?

according the the Roch Red Wings website (the Twins AAA team), RHP Matt Garza has been promoted from Double-A New Britain, and the Wings have signed free agent 1B/DH Erubiel Durazo.

 

I thought Durazo was with a different team. hmm

Flash, your man-love for Liriano could be premature. He might not be as effective after the league has seen him. But I'm probably wrong.

He could always transfer his man love to Zach minor... he should be able to get 2 or 3 more wins before the league figures him out.

Do I ever wish we drafted Garza instead of Broadway. Difference between a potential number 2 and a potential number 4 starter.
