The Twins are taking a bulldozer to their 40-man roster, clearing space for some minor leaguers who will need protection on the 40-man and perhaps some acquisitions. Rivas, Mays, LeCroy, Abernathy, Michael Ryan, Jason Tyner, and Glenn Williams were all removed from the roster. According to the Twins website, and the Strib LeCroy plans to try out free agency, and the club hopes to invite Tyner, Williams, and Abernathy to spring training. With LeCroy gone, the Twins need another righthanded bat more than ever, which raises the question--is Chili Davis still available?

EDIT: Last night Batgirl dreamt that she was watching a Reds game and Chili Davis stepped up to the plate. She was mighty surprised to see him still playing and a little embarrassed that she'd posted the above. But he looked hot.
