The Dolenc Watch continues

Yes, that apparently irrepressible former MSU outfielder Mark Dolenc played yet again in a Twins exhibition game on Wednesday. He went 0-for-3 and is still hitting .000 in his Grapefruit League playing time.

He came in for Denard Span when the big league CF took himself out of the game after lining a foul ball off his mom's collarbone. (That link includes video from the ESPN broadcast).

Dolenc won't get much more time on the major league side this spring, what with camp breaking today.

The Twins are back on ESPN this afternoon for their last Florida exhibition, but that broadcast conflicts with my 1 p.m. KTOE appearance. I'm sure you're all torn between my babble, a get-out-of-town game with the Red Sox and something potentially useful.

Notes, comments and me on the radio

• Francisco Liriano hadn't gone more than four innings in any spring training outing. This afternoon he went six — six innings, three hits, three walks, eight strikeouts, zero runs. Another good sign for him as a member of the rotation vs. closing.
• The Tigers on Tuesday traded Nate Robertson to Florida for a minor league pitcher. This probably means that both Jeremy Bonderman and Dontrelle Willis will open the season in Detroit's rotation.
• I taped this morning a segment with Pete Steiner for KTOE radio's "Talk of the Town" program. Pete said it will air at 1 p.m. Thursday. I've long said my face was made for radio and my voice for newspapers. Now we'll have evidence of the latter.
