Thread: Article: Twins, Perkins Agree to Contract Extension

I don't think his fastball is very good

How did the b game go yesterday

Just so I'm clear, you'll have trouble finding anyone that has been more consistently vocal about how terrible that Capps contract is than I. I started criticizing it a week before it happened. I got worked up enough about it that Gleeman actually looked supportive by comparison. I've compared it to a friend's soul-sucking ex-girlfriend. I criticized it when they traded for him, when they gave him a contract this year and again this year.

But having Capps and identifying him as closer, as opposed to not having Capps and having Perkins identified as the closer, allowed this contract to happen and happen a lot cheaper than it would have otherwise. And best of all, the organization now has all the incentive it needs to swap the roles, as they have Perkins under contract at a discount for four to five more years.

Now Glen just has to do the job.

Why not....this is a good deal...if he stays healthy and continues to improve it's a steal!

its a good deal for both sides and im happy that the Twins singed there best ballpen pitcher to a long term contract

I'm not so sure about this one. That's a big commitment to a guy who has only put together only one solid, injury free season. Especially when he was pretty average in August and September last year. This potentially is much worse than the Capps deal.

I'm a fan of the deal. If it works out in favor of the Twins, they could have a great deal in the later years of the contract. I hope it works out in favor of the club and the Perkins from last year will show up for the foreseeable future.
