I think Kubel is the career leader in MLB HR's for a person born in South Dakota. Definitely leader for those born in Belle Fourche. So there's a feather in his cap.
Never have and never will understand how guys like Dave McCarty stay in MLB. Couldn't hit for average or power. Couldn't get on base. Couldn't steal bases. Couldn't play D. Literally a no tools player with an 11 year career.
This uncertainty regarding the value of TV rights really puts teams like the Twins with payroll constraints/concerns behind the 8-ball in trying to sign free agents.
I dont want Kwesi doing a partial rebuild, a total rebuild, or the next draft. He should be gone. Today. His draft picks have been subpar. Keeping him around is the fast track to being a dumpster fire like the Jets for a decade.
