Shooter Hunt is a prospect other teams are keeping an eye on, especially given the Twins' system wide surfeit of pitching prospects. Mentioning interest in a player may be planting a seed for future transactions between the team as well.Bullpen Catcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958239502098139917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-145992988406883008.post-8305299541432736322008-07-25T14:21:00.000-05:002008-07-25T14:21:00.000-05:00Per Major League Baseball Rules a player cannot be...Per Major League Baseball Rules a player cannot be traded less than one year after he is drafted.

Liriano will be in the rotation next year when Livan is gone (oddly enough, Livan has the same agent as Liriano, but Livan's contract is garaunteed, so he and the agent get paid no matter what). <BR/>Span is another matter, with Gomez, Cuddy and Delmon already in the outfield, where do you put him? Move Cuddy to DH, then you lose one of the best arms in the game. The best option would be to make Span the fourth outfielder and have him start every other game or something. Injuries happen and depth is nice to have.<BR/>On a different note, check out Liriano's minor league game log at [link]www.twincities.com/twins/ci_9962849[/link]Jimmy Olichwierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17340623643893712959noreply@blogger.com
