Nathan may look to Mets in free agency
When the San Francisco Giants used a 6th round pick on a pitcher from Stony Brook University, they had little idea that he would turn into one of the best closers of his generation. Joe Nathan was the pitcher who joined the Giants that season and his college alma mater named their new baseball stadium [...]

Nathan saves the best for last
The Twins had to make room to call-up Joe Mauer at the beginning of the 2004 season and that meant trading away AJ Pierzynski. The team was able to deal Pierzynski for a pool of players that included prospects Francisco Liriano, Boof Bonser, and a relief pitcher named Joe Nathan. In scouting the Giants, the [...]

Gibson threatened with possibility of Tommy John
Earlier last week, I wrote about the Twins holding Kyle Gibson back from making a start with the Rochester Red Wings. At the time of that post, the injury to Gibson seemed to be some general soreness in the area around his elbow. This seemed like a positive diagnoses since the elbow can be a tough area [...]
