    Stats indicate otherwise, it seems the only reason Fuentes is a Twin is because Mijares is on the DL

    Only reason is because Mijares knows how to get into the food cabinets, if he wasn't so overweight, he wouldn't have gotten hurt

    What does that have to do with the stats indicating Mijares is allowing less runs thus giving the Twins a better oppurtunity to win?

    That's the reason that he got hurt, which is why they need Fuentes

    But you said he is an upgrade, clearly he's not.

    As you can see, I'm not a fan of Mijares, so I'd rather have Fuentes, Mijares blew too many games in the past. I'm starting to not like Capps either, Rauch was better, but now he's stunk it up, so I'm hoping Capps blows a few more home games where the Twins can come back in the bottom, and Crain gets promoted to closer

    Yes I can see it, i'd prefer him over Fuentes, who will eventually make Twins fans cringe i'm sure (look back to his Rockies days for examples) and I agree, I hope Capps blows more games as well

    Why, just so your Tigers stay within 15 games when the season ends?
