Brian Duensing has opted out of his minor league deal with the Royals. Duensing exercised his opt-out clause after going 1-0 with a 3.10 ERA in 12 outings for Triple-A Omaha. The 33-year-old boasts 354 games of major league experience, all with Minnesota. Some bullpen-needy team will take a chance on him.

Hmmmmmmm

Saw some grainy footage of the Twins next home-grown slugger .... Hope we out-bid Duke BB for his services one day.

He bats RH, but he's making him throw lefty. Brilliant!

Look at the number again......his better numbers are as a LHB vs RHP

I was surprised.

If they do, I am sure the Yankees will realize that his value might be as a platoon player and late inning defensive specialist.

Doubt the Twins would ever think a little outside the box.

the use of Polanco or lack of use and the continued penciling in of Nunez who is not an everyday shortstop and the pending return of Escobar who is not an everyday shortstop leads me to believe that with some players, they continue to drive a square peg into a round hole.......Arcia in the outfield exhibit A. Sano in RF exhibit B.

For all of the talk of Hicks being a head case on this forum, Arcia strikes me as the biggest head case ever. Doesn't work at all at his game nor does he seem to listen to instruction. Hicks' problem was he would listen too much to coaches and try and do things that contradicted each other.

Orioles released INF Steve Tolleson. (Drafted in the 5th round (165th overall) by the Minnesota Twins in 2005)

Tolleson, 32, was batting .100 (2-for-20) with six walks and five strikeouts over eight games with the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate.

So much for the theory that Duensing was heading back to the Twins.

Dick Bremer announced that Arcia has 60 pair of shoes in his clothes closet. That tells you something about this guy's priorities. He is a player already spending money above his means. He is still drawing close to league minimum pay (which is enormous for the average person) but he may be out of professional baseball by next season. I would venture he does not buy $50-$60 shoes. More like $500-$1,000 Italian leather and upwards. What an idiot!
