I agree. And to speculate, I wonder if the club will try to trade Swarzak. I believe he's got a good enough track record the last two years to find a willing trade partner.
There should be an option for confidence in ownership. That is where my lack of confidence lies. If by chance Ryan, Gardy, etc... are let go, I feel this org will replace them with all in house candidates. And that is where the trouble lies.
With all the TJ surgeries you read about lately, I wonder what the % of major & minor league pitchers have gone thru the surgery in the last 10 years. Is it over 5%?
And no reason why it shouldn't be. Liam might get 1 or 2 starts. Show off his make up. And let's face it; The likleehood the Twins make the playoffs in 2012 is slim, so might as well audition young talent.
