Philip Humber, Denard Span, Jason Pridie, and Brian Buscher were all sent to Triple-A Rochester by the Minnesota Twins on Monday.  Humber was the guy with the best shot at making the big league team but he was beat out by Brian Bass.

We can expect to see these players later in the year more then likely.  Especially Humber who will work his way onto the big league roster at some point this season.

News out of Twins spring training camp is that speedster Carlos Gomez will be the starting center fielder for the Minnesota Twins on openind day.  The Twins aren’t expecting much offensive production out of the youngster, but do hope that he can get on base and steal some bases and score some runs.

The Twins are also saying that it looks like Francisco Liriano will start the season at Triple-A.  Liriano needs to get some more innings in and show the team that he is definately back from Tommy John surgery.  Right now he isn’t 100%, and needs to build some strength and make sure his arm is all ok.

After having some Visa problems, starting pitcher Francisco Liriano has arrived at Twins Spring Training.  He has already had a workout, and was clocked throwing in the mid 90’s.  Looks like Lirano will be ready to go, he just needs to get into game shape and I don’t see a problem with that happening.
