Topic: Anxiety Disorder News - Team Capsules | American League Central (Seattle Times)
This spring has had its rocky moments, with the retirement of prospective closer Keith Foulke and an injury to starter Cliff Lee (stomach strain). The Twins will miss Radke, and they’ll also miss promising Matt Garza who, for some unexplained reason, didn’t make the rotation. No question the Twins have some tremendous pieces, including the Cy Young winner (Santana, hands down the best pitcher in baseball), MVP (Justin Morneau) and batting champion (Joe Mauer) from last year, plus All-Star closer Joe Nathan. Michael Cuddyer had a nice offensive breakout last season, and Torii Hunter, heading into the final year of his contract, is a leader on and off the field. The pitching focus will be on Meche, but the genuine excitement in camp, pitching-wise, was over Zack Greinke, the one-time top prospect whose career was nearly brought down by an anxiety disorder.
