So rather than complement the man on a nice article, you chose to question his fanhood? Classy.

@darin,

Which is exactly why we are in need of relief help.

You might want to update your projections. This just in Pat Neshek had surgery a few months ago and will not play this year. I’m not sure how you missed that if you are a true fan you would have known that.

@FlimtotheFlam,

With Liriano, Baker, Slowey, and Blackburn as our solid 1-4, and Perkins, Humber, and Mulvey battling it out for that 5th spot over the course of the season, the Twins should have solid depth at starting pitching. Whether or not we value Boof as a reliever is still in question but I would probably consider this a steal for the Twins (considering Freese was the Cardinals Minor League PoY and we are all kind of over Boof at this point).

However, the Twins have a solid young 3B prospect by the name of Danny Valencia who’s rumored to be about 2 years away. So in the end would gaining Freese really help us? Hopefully the Twins are eying someone more MLB ready who could have immediate impact. In the end though, it would be tough to turn down such a value add in Freese to the Twins organization.

How bout a trade of one of your young starters such as Boof Bosner for David Fresse of the Cardinals. We have entirely too many quality 3B prospects and it is starting to get really crowded. He is solid on Defense and has some pop plus he is cheap.
