I was just listening to 1500 ESPN online, and they were interviewing Ron Gardenhire.
A couple news tidbits, he mentioned that Nick Punto’s injury is more than just a cramp in his leg, and he’ll likely have to go to the DL.
Gardy also mentioned that he thinks Nick Blackburn needs to be getting some starts, so he will likely be sent down to AAA to pitch for a while.
The Punto news comes at a bad time. Valencia is playing well as an infielder for the Twins, but Punto will be the third Twins infielder out because of an injury, joining Justin Morneau and Orlando Hudson. That leaves Cuddyer, Cassilla, Hardy, and Valencia to play the infield, but the Twins will probably have to promote someone else as well.
As for the Blackburn news, I’ve been saying that he needs to be in AAA for a while now. It’s good to hear that the Twins are finally going to do it.
