When Bill Smith took over as Twins' GM back in 2007, he wasted no time in completing his first roster purge, removing Josh Rabe, Luis Rodriguez, Lew Ford and Tommy Watkins from the 40-man roster just weeks after the regular season came to an end. I lauded the move at the time , noting that Smith was immediately "trimming the fat" and creating space on the roster for more useful players. Terry...

Euractiv seems to think that it's all over for Tony Blair. Why?
