When are your guys in the front office going to pull it together to get Joe Randa? He'd have the highest OPS on your team for pete's sake, and that's 150 point improvement over cudduyer. He's cheap, he's great in the clubhouse and he's on a one year deal. You couldn't ask for more, it's a trade made in heaven. How often do you get to trade for a guy who will be your teams best hitter, and only have to give up a middle prospect or two, and not have to take on a ton of salary.
I'm a reds fan and a twins fan, and i want this to work out for both teams, i can't believe it's taken so long. As a reds fan all i can do is look forward to trades and the future. Without another bat the twins are in trouble. The minnesota media i read says Joe Randa wouldn't be a game breaker type that they need, but i just don't see why people would say that. Remember opening day? walk off, and then a granny in the next game. This guy is clutch, and like i said, he'll be your only 30 HR guy most likely.
Sure he's not an MVP candidate, but for the twins, he'd be a massive upgrade. And he knows the pitchers in your division. Here's hoping i guess.
