So NL teams are like AAA teams? Last time I checked they played in the major leagues as well. We may not have played great teams, exception Brewers, but we faced some very good pitchers and handled them well. Even handled the Brewers ace. I agree we will know more about this team in two weeks. We have a tough strectch coming up but, confidence is at an all time high this year. The hitting is much better and are hitting the ball harder and further. I don't think this team HAS to have Liriano to make it to the playoffs. They would need him to win in the playoffs. Either way I think this will be a great summer and will give our youngsters a chance to prove themselves and get much needed experience. Baker, Blackburn and Slowey will be our future. Liriano hopefully as well. Perkins looks like he could be a good pitcher and possibly anchor the rotation. Will be interesting what happens when Denard Span comes up for Cuddyer this next two weeks at least. If he tears the cover off the ball, we have a major issue. But a good issue. With the way he is playing in Rochester, he very well could put us in a predicament. Would the Twins trade someone or just keep us stocked up. How does Denard Span feel about that? He would be starting for many teams this year, I'm sure someone would be interested. He isn't going to stay in our AAA system forever, so we kind of have to make a decision.
