    The Single Worst Headline in MLB History

    Courtesy of ESPN.com:

    "Twins fill Santana's slot with Livan Hernandez"

    YES...BECAUSE LIVAN HERNANDEZ WILL REALLY FILL THE SLOT LEFT BY THE BEST PITCHER IN BASEBALL!
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    Somebody still has to pitch in that slot regardless of how they compare to Johan so the headline isn't inaccurate.

    Besides, this is the single worst headline in the history of MLB

    Twins Re: The Single Worst Headline in MLB History

    People have to understand that the Twins know Hernandez isn't going to be as good as Johan. He's there to put some experience in that rotation, not to be the next Cy Young winner. The Twins have Baker, Slowey, Bonser, Liriano, Blackburn, Humber....none of these guys are "seasoned" players. Most of them haven't played a full season at the major league level.

    Yeah it sucks that Johan is gone, but what did you expect? For the Twins not to have a pitcher on opening day? They have to find somebody with experience.

    I just think it's funny that they make it sound like Livan Hernandez is sliding right into the ace spot and going to replace Johan

    Twins Re: The Single Worst Headline in MLB History

    Yeah, whoever wrote that was a tard. I'm sure that's not what the Twins were thinking about when they signed him.

    HollywoodLeo,
    That is classic.

    Pretty sure Liriano is filling Johan's void. Livan is filling Silva's

    I would agree with you, LTR. Hernandez could be a very good addition to the team, but nothing is certain.

    you hit the nail on the coffin there! Santana was about the money. I hope he is a failure in New York. May the Mets get burned on this deal!

    A little harsh for a guy who won two Cy Young awards in a Twins uniform. Get pissed at Pohlad, not Santana.

    I agree with both you guys. It's just not right, but Pohlad is a tool. That still doesn't put the warm fuzzy in my stomach. These prospects better produce something within the next few years, or it's gonna be like the whole Norm Greene thing all over again. Except about baseball of course.
