Comeback?

More WCAW news (ironically, Scott Miller of CBS Sportsline has the same story....)

LAS VEGAS -- Scott Erickson, who essentially has not pitched a full major-league season since 2002 and mostly has been out of baseball since 2005, is making noises about a comeback.
Erickson, 40, has contacted the Minnesota Twins about coming to spring training in 2009 and apparently was met with a tepid response.
"He wants to come back," Twins GM Bill Smith told CBSSports.com. "I told him to go get a job in winter ball and let's see what you can do."
Erickson, who was 142-136 with a 4.59 ERA over 15 big-league seasons, so far is not pitching winter ball.
Following a run between 1991 and 1999 in which he threw 200 or more innings seven times, Erickson developed elbow trouble in 2000 that eventually led to Tommy John ligament replacement surgery.

More Young

WCAW, with their own under cover reporter at MLB's Winter GM meetings has this (which, coincidentally, Jayson Stark of ESPN also has in his blog):

Another Rays note: Yes, they kicked Delmon Young's name around when the Twins approached them to express interest. But according to one source who talked to the Rays' brass, they would "never" take Young back.

Puck

We don't dive into puck very often, but when we do here at WCAW, we do it with full force.
The Wild drop 2 this weekend to go from 1st to 3rd place, and to top it off, Gabby's situation is going to blow apart the team unless they resolve it soon.
