Yeah, Ortiz was a good hitter with the Twins. The argument against Ortiz seemed to come from Tom Kelly, who wanted Ortiz to hit " The Twins Way". i.e. slap the ball to the opposite field, instead of swinging for the fences. Win some, lose some...
I'm actually a fan of Danny Santana. I think the real problem with him is 2 fold: The Twins are playing him far too much and wearing him out He's being played too much because Buxton still hasn't shown himself to be a full-time player. Not sure what the Twins have as an alternate CF.
Thanks for the info. I read darn near all the posts when the Twins let Jones go: made him sound like a 100mph pitcher. Slow and go with Zach. Get the arm loose again and see what happens. At best: 2 years away? Edit: just noticed, Twins made $25k on the deal! Allotment for next years baseball supply?
