Robbie Grossman "strong outfield defense"? Surely you jest! He is nearly unplayable in the outfield and has some of the worst defensive numbers in the league.
This one stings me. Now that it didn't matter if the Twins won or lost, moreover benefited them if they lost, I was enjoying the 9th inning save opportunities with Rodney on the hill. Indeed, it was 12 minutes of me smiling like a butcher's dog!
A thousand apologies to all. This recent Twins downturn has gotten me to take a turn to Negative Town. Seeing Grossman and Adhireza playing everyday has me scouring the minors for help immediately. It was a good article.
Haven't you guys ever heard of a small sample size? We're like 6% into the season. Rodney's stuff looks just as good as ever and that closer mentality doesn't exactly grow on trees or come cheap. Add in a proven winner and a good clubhouse guy and Rodney is someone we're lucky to have if we plan on making any kind of playoff run. As Drew Brees once said R-E-L-A-X. Good win yesterday.
