Todd:
Tori Hunter- Twins got nothing, let him walk.
Johann Santana- Twins got Gomez and his . 178 BA who now plays defensively in the 9th inning, Mulvey and Humber, both pitchers in the minors and both very mediocre AAA players
Jason Bartlett and Matt Garza- Garza is one of the rising stars among young pitchers and was the MVP of the AL championship series, Bartlett was the Rays MVP last year, is hitting over .350 and is the glue in the Rays defense. We got Delmon Young who is a defensive liability, has little or no power and Brendan Harris who Gardenhire hates and will not play.
Mike Lamb, Adam Everett, Senor No-Smoke Guardado, Craig Monroe, Livan Hernandez, all busts and out of the organization after 1 year.
"Arm pit" Ayala, a free agent acquistion from the Nats who was the worst pitcher on the worst team in the majors last year and has stunk it up.
Now, please tell me how in 2 years GM Bill Smith still has a job. He is a joke and the worst GM in baseball. I truly expect him to use Joe Maurer through the 2010 season and then trade him as free agency nears for another bag of rocks. Look for Maurer in pinstripes in 2011. I despise Smith as do most Twins fans for doing absolutely nothing to help the Twins win a very winnable AL Central.
