caulfield12 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 is that the Twins are thinking of folding their tents this year and that negotiations are far apart on a new contract for Hunter, who doesn't want to play the next 2-3 seasons (while waiting for new stadium to open) on that horrible artificial turf. Ballpark numbers being bandied about by his agent are $60 million for 4 years or $75 million for 5. Also, there are rumors the Braves are likely to sign Andruw Jones before the end of the season, preventing him. I know, I know, he's a Boras client, and 99% of the time Boras takes his clients into the market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Too bad the Twins would never consider trading Torii to the divisional rival White Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Career: Hunter: .271/.324/.469 Erstad: .286/.340/.414 However this year Hunter is playing like he should be in regards to his contract situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 That's scary considering the Twins do their best work at raiding other teams farm systems... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure they would find the next Jay Marshall or Fabio Castro to make their bullpen that much tougher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabio Castro has been demoted to AAA and he is on the Phillies who dont have what I call a strong bullpen and Jay Marshall has an era of 5.03 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Adkins is a decent 12th man in the pen (whether he was developed or not by the Sox is up to others to decide) and Royce Ring is pretty damn close to finally coming up and having a spot in the Padres bullpen.
