pekingman Verified Member Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Good comments, but typo in 5th paragraph, wrong name: "Mackey asked Gardenhire about Burroughs..." (not Valencia)
Shane Wahl Verified Member Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I would hope he is the 25th man (if he is decent or better in ST) instead of either an injured Hughes or AAA Nishioka. Good lord, if the Twins are willing to keep Matt Capps around in part because he is a "good guy," then you would think they would like making this a true feel-good story as well, right?
jmlease1 Verified Member Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 I liked the Burroughs signing from the start, but I am a little concerned that Gardy will use it as a way to bury a player he doesn't seem to like very much in Valencia. And while Danny V has some flaws, I feel like he got scapegoated a fair bit last season. That said, I would vastly prefer to carry Burroughs on the 25 man roster than Butera's useless bat or a 12th pitcher that will throw once every 10 days. This team needs to have LH & RH bats on the bench that can actually hit a little
John Bonnes Site Manager Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 pekingman - Thanks. Ugh. Fixed.

biff27 Provisional Member Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 I like this signing alot also, and for sean I hope it turns out that he makes the 20 man roster. If it comes down between him and luke Hughs,hughs does not have very good baseball sense and his arm leaves alot to be desired, and I think we saw enough of Nishi.
biff27 Provisional Member Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 um sorry 25 man roster,oops
