Instead of picking up 5 of baseball's worst retreads, Livan Hernandez, Craig Monroe, Mike Lamb, Carl Everett and Eddie Guardado, if they had just spent a little of the money they saved on not re-signing Torii Hunter and not keeping Johann Santana and acquired a frigging power hitting 3b or lf, they would have won easily. Punch and judy hitting will just carry you so far. Last in the majors in homerun, they were the modern version of the hitless wonders White Sox of the early 1900's.
Gardenhire is also the most overrated manager in baseball. Nice guy, loved by his players but he tries to be a poor man's Tony LaRusso without Tony's brains. Everything is by the book. His record in big games is horrific.
A shame, the boys deserved better....
