Is Ramon Ortiz for real?
Question:Did the Twins get a great find when they signed this guy and teamed him with Rick Anderson or is this just smoke and mirrors? He sure looks awsome in the early going!

Who will be the yankees 5th starter?
I think you're right on with the Rick Anderson influence. He is very good at reviving pitchers careers that have good stuff. I think he will continue to be solid as a two guy behind Santana. But I doubt even Anderson can help out Sid Ponson!!Does Alex Rodriguez have a brother that plays for Detroit named Ivan Rodriguez?
Is he for real? He just might be.Ortiz really likes the pitching coach Richie Anderson and has followed his advice to the letter. Ortiz over the years is known to get overly excited when pitching especially in crucial situations and he would lose his concentration and give up the big hit...see his 40 HRs given up with Anahein in 2002. So all the Twins have asked him to do is to take deep breath before throwing a pitch and to use his changeup more (taught to him by Santana late last year and Ortiz worked on it in winter ball and it seems to be a good pitch for him) and you see the results. He has been good, and hopefully he can continue especially with Anderson's, Santana's and Silva's help. We shall see!
