Nicky was put on the DL today luckily it will be retroactive to when he last played last week. they will bring up Luke Hughes. Luke was in triple A Rochester and evidently is playing well, hes a second basemen who can play anywhere in the infield and outfield. Surprised that its not Matt Tolbert but maybe hes not playing well right now!? Bet it would be fun to go to some of those Triple A games see some future stars.
Smart of Nicky to rest it now, this early in the season better to take the time unlike later in the year when you gut through it! He did that at the end of last year. Its good in some ways just as I said before witht the pitchers its good to get those young guys up give them a little taste of the big leagues. Maybe next time they come later in the year they aren't as nervous and will play better. Or they go back down and play harder so they can get back up to the BIGS
Good to have Pavano come back with a strong game after his tough last start. Also glad that Kubel got a hit to shake that hitless streak. It is important that even the guys who haven't gotten hits are still getting productive outs! you know moving the runners around. Besides if you have guys like JJ stepping up and if Thome can get on a big role. Lets keep loading the bases eventually someone will clear 'em.
Go Twins!!
