1.Hernandez
2.Bonser
3.Slowey
4.Blackburn (with Baker taken that spot when ready)
5.Liriano (if he can’t make it by the 5th game, Bass or Humber)

great effort by Livan today

It wasn't competition he needs, it's innings. but I think the Twins really didn't want two pitchers with a limited pitch count. that would really tax the pen. Plus knowing Liriano was destined for a rotation spot I think the Twins wanted a longer look at Blackburn and Slowey. With Baker starting on DL it really solves both problems. Look for Liriano and Blackburn to go north if we see a decent ST start for Liriano coming up. The word on Liriano was that if he didn’t go north with the big club he’d stay in florida.

I think he threw the same amount of pitches. I would recommend Humber coming up. He was throwing pretty hard when I saw him down there. I have to believe that the reason he didn't make it is because they want him to start. He would have made it they wanted him in the bullpen.
