BJ Garbe and his night vision issues. Can imagine the scouts and the front office during that conversation. "He can't what?" "See, sir. He can't see very well."
Thoracic outlet syndrome and Tommy John Surgery aren't things people just bounce back from, but considering before the major surgeries he never had an ERA under 4 for a season is it really, "Twins punching bag?" More like MLB's punching bag.
Since the Twins have about half a lineup of hitters who can't steal first base it doesn't really matter who bats where? It would just be nice to give the few guys who can get on base more AB's than the slugs who can't.
It must just be my disdain for Bert but I'll take Smalley or Coomer over him any day. And TK over all of them, maybe just to hear him call Dick, "Richard."
