simply shows

how good the twins management has been at making solid moves in trades as well…that team includes 10 players not on a MLB roster right now….i bet you that team would garner all of about 70 wins, if even that….

Yeah

It’s amazing that this team gets credited as a great scouting and player development team. Especially when you consider how they messed with the development of guys like Cuddyer.

Valentin

Javier Valentin’s full name was Jose Javier Valentin, so I wrote his name as Jose, but I should’ve realized that the former Milwaukee shorstop also had the same name.
