The Twins don’t want Koskie back either. That might suggest something about what they think of his decline. Or maybe a ploy to get Toronto to offer more.

I’d like to see Granderson lower in the lineup. Hard enough to win a full time job w/o leading off as well. It’s a darn good lineup if they can stay healthy. Of course that’s the linchpin for the whole season. Lynn Henning had on Monday some stuff about Zumaya going to the pen. It’s makes a lot of sense. I always thought the best thing to do with young starters was to put them in long relief to begin with. They have a lot of good young arms; Colon, Verlander, Zumaya, German (still), Rodney, Spurling, Woodyard, etc. I think Leyland will put a pretty good pen to gether. Walker will likely be steady and I have a hunch that Bobby Seay was a steal.
