Twins GM Bill Smith Pulls off Blockbuster Deal at the Trade Deadline

The Summer of Stun has been incredible and unpredictable.  I put the twins at about 80-85 wins this year.  With that said we’re a game and half back of the hated ChiSox after a 3-1 homestand and we didn’t pull the trigger on anything.  Casilla’s injury I think will be bigger than anyone is alluding to.  He really sparked this team and without him they’re going to rely on Punto and Harris. 

I know we’re building for 2010 but how about doing something… I’m not saying we have to give up prospects… how about Mike Lamb, Livan Hernandez, and Boof for a halfway decent 2nd basemen… anything. 

Shannon Stewart aside this team never does anything at the trade deadline.  I’m not going to say I want them to dump their plan and overpay in prospects or cash but just try.  Moving Boof and/or Livan would have been great because every Twins fan knows they’re awful and not only they would’ve cleared up about $300/week on the team’s food budget but it would’ve cleared a spot for Liriano…

I’m usually always behind Twins management and this season has proven why so let’s hope we’re on the right track again.  Bill…even the BoSox could move this guy
