This sums up my thinking as well. Who needs a stinking trade deadline when you can get real live prospecrts like this for guys that are on their final legs here.
I know there have been some eyebrows raised at the Twins habit of drafting college relievers of late. My eyebrows are raised in that none of them are actually on the team yet. Good powerful bullpen lies in our future.
Exactly - it is quite possible that NOBODY wanted them. Maybe, possibly, perhaps other teams GMs are as smart as the fans at Twins Daily who were desperate to rid themselves of this deadwood.
I remember buying Redman in my teens because that's what the pros chewed. Accidentally swallowing a whole mouthful of juice and then retching for the next hour cured me of that nasty habit before I got hooked. But my case was probably typical in following what I saw the pros doing.
