It's never a good idea to trade your #1 position prospect for a "proven closer" or any other reliever. That's what I'm going on. Then they lied that Capps had a role in making the playoffs in 2010. Capps had nothing to do with us making the playoffs. We made it by like 7 games or something. It was a horrible trade at the time and just as horrible now. I don't care how it panned out. It was never going to be a good trade and I knew that. Even if we won the WS in 2010, it was a bad trade because Capps was not any better than Rauch. And we win the division easily with Rauch or anyone else closing games in 2010 anyway.

Mackey and Judd hit on some good points today. The frustrating part is Mackey can’t make up his mind if he’s pro-TR or anti-TR. He alternates days. It’s actually Judd that made the good points today, and Mackey couldn’t argue against him because there are no logical arguments against what he was saying. Judd says it’s a self-awareness problem with the Twinis front office. They look at the Blaine Boyer signing and think "that wasn’t so bad. We did pretty well with that." Instead they should be looking at it and saying, "we can’t keep doing this to ourselves." They probably still look at the Stauffer signing as a success because it could have worked out. That’s also how they look at the Capps/Ramos trade. "It could have worked. Would have done it again." There’s zero accountability. They sure aren’t holding themselves accountable. They keep doing the same crap over and over again. There’s no way they can learn from their mistakes if they don’t think they’re mistakes.
