Rochester’s Rotation? How About The Rest of the System?

I just chatted with Twins pitching coach Rick Anderson. We got on the subject of arms in the farm system, and he spoke highly of the depth of arms the organization now has.

“There’s nothing wrong with backing up some of these guys,” he said.

The Twins have had no choice but to hold some guys back because of a numbers crunch at the top levels. I wouldn’t get too wound up over that because all it takes is an injury or a poor start for players to start moving up and down the chain.

Joe C. reported in today’s editions that Class AAA Rochester’s rotation will be righthanders Philip Humber, Kevin Mulvey and Heath Totten and lefthanders Glen Perkins and Brian Duensing.

That got me thinking….what about the other clubs?

Here are the the rotations at each level:

Class AA New Britain

LHP Ryan Mullins

RHP Jay Rainville

RHP Oswaldo Sosa

RHP Anthony Swarzak

LHP Jason Miller

Class A Fort Myers

LHP Fransisco Liriano

RHP Jeff Manship

RHP Deolis Guerra

LHP Tyler Robertson

RHP Alex Burnett

 Class A Beloit

RHP Mike McCardell

RHP David Bromberg

RHP Danny Berlind

LHP Steven Tarsi

RHP Brian Kirwan

 Notes: RHP Cole Devries will replace Liriano at Fort Myers.

RHP Matt Fox is in the bullpen at Fort Myers.

RHP Kyle Waldrop is on the disabled list with a shoulder injury.

I am still tabulating the picks to click voting but hope to have it completed by tomorrow.
