Brunansky for Herr was a doozie. And the one that sent Graig Nettles to Cleveland for one year of Tiant and Stan Williams wasn't particularly successful either. Granted that Williams had an excellent year in 1970, but then just kinda disappeared.
The Twins bring in a rookie who can't reach 90 MPH, the Rangers bring in one who almost hits 100. And who then promptly throws a change up 20 MPH slower for the K. Yikes.
Austin is hitting .263 with the Twins and has an HR every 9 plate appearances. He is batting 8th. I dunno, maybe M thinks that will get Garver and Cave better pitches to hit?
