Twins waste no time signing Adam Everett
The day after the Astros non-tendered Adam Everett as a result of their trade for Miguel Tejada, the Twins have signed him to a 1-year deal. Everyone will rave about his defensive ability at SS. That's all fine and dandy, but doesn't this team really need help with the bats? Everett has a career line of .248/.299/.357.
Series preview - Baltimore Orioles
It's opening day! In case you're not a weekend reader (which is common), please be sure to check out the two posts I made over the weekend discussing the hitters and pitchers on the Twins opening day roster. This year I want to start previewing each series, so here's the preview of the opening series at home against the Baltimore Orioles.
Comeback not Enough
The Twins found themselves down 8-0 heading into the bottom of the 7th inning. Carlos Silva struggled in the first inning by giving up 3 runs, including a 2-run homer to Miguel Tejada. Silva then pitched 3 scoreless innings before allowing Baltimore to extend the lead by a run in each of the fifth and 6th innings. The recently recalled Kyle Lohse came on for the 7th and looked terrible.
