Predict the 2007 rotation November 1st, 2006 at 9:17 pm

By Kris Richardson

Here’s a tough question: Who will be in the Twins rotation when the Twins break camp to begin the 2007 season next spring. Yes, I know that’s five months away, but that’s what makes it difficult, and fun.

In the comments, list the five players and try to get the order correct too. To raise the stakes, I’ll buy the winner a 1-year Flickr Pro account. Here are the rules:

  • To be eligible to win you only need to name all five pitchers correctly; order doesn’t matter
  • If there is more than one winner then order will be the first tie breaker
  • The next tie breaker will be whomever posted their guess first, so hurry up!
  • All entries need to be in by the time comments close in 30 days.
  • Only your first entry will count

If this gets any type of good response, I might do more of these throughout the off season.

Ballhype: hype it up!

I'll throw my guess into the mix too.

  • Johan Santana
  • Adam Eaton
  • Carlos Silva
  • Boof Bonser
  • Scott Baker

Liriano seems to have fallen off the face of the earth after reports that he was supposed to decide this week on surgery. I don't have a good feeling about how that's going to turn out.
