Ha, I just saw that. John Danks should be very concerned.

"...The move is retroactive to March 28. Baker was pegged to start on Opening Day at the beginning of spring, but the Twins decided he wasn't ready for regular season action after he finished Grapefruit League play with a 6.85 ERA. Francisco Liriano will start the season opener in his place."

Jesus Christ. You've got to be kidding me.

Mr. Bill said...

What is even more ridiculous is that while Baker is the 4th player on my team to have DL time announced, he's the first player to actually go on the DL.

Z said...

And yet we still only have 2 DL spots on the roster. You'd think that would have been enough after 0 games have been played...

Caleb said...

Weren't we going to bump that up to 3 DL spots, or did I miss something?

Spencer said...

not that I recall..

Mr. Bill said...

Looking back at my e-mail, the DL spots were increased to 2 from 1. Although I'd be totally OK with adding a 3rd spot...

Caleb said...

wow, we only had one DL spot last year? That's ridiculous.

I bet you would, Bill. I bet you would.

Mr. Bill said...

I think we had one more bench spot last year, so having only 1 DL spot wasn't as onerous. But, yeah, 2 DL spots seems pretty grim right now. At least I can cut Devine if he has major elbow problems, and Baker and Upton should only miss the first week. But it could be a quiet week for my team...
