Am i the only one a tad bit apprehensive about the bullpen? I do think it will be a strong, but i question its depth.

Crain is coming off major shoulder surgery, and Rincon is coming back from an elbow operation and overall sucking.

Those are big parts of our bullpen, according to what "the pundits" have tagged as a strong bullpen.

I guess i was more jsut surprised that we didnt bolster our bullpen depth very much at all this offseason. Unless they are planning on converting a starter or two to the bullpen(i.e. perkins, humber, blackburn)???

Assuming we don't trade Nathan (lousy assumption to make), we have Nathan, Neshek and Guerrier as our top tier of guys, Reyes as a lefty, and Rincon and Crain as question marks that could go either way. I think the Twins are planning on moving Humber to the bullpen with that Hernandez acquisition which could turn out well. If they falter we have Perkins, Blackburn, and DePaula all waiting to give it a try.

I could see Liriano starting out in the bullpen

Ooh, I dunno about that. I think either he makes the opening day roster as a starter or he's in triple A as a starter. I see the latter as highly unlikely.
