I don't care what the Twins pundits think. The Righthanded options for the Twins are putrid. Look at these stats in the minors:<br /><br />14 Wins 10 Losses, 2.08 Career ERA, Only 185 hits in 286 innings, 387 K's in 286 innings, 86 Saves, a miniscule 1.073 WHIP. <br /><br />These are fantastic numbers and the fact that he is not given a chance is unbelievable. I just don't know about the Twins front office anymore. I hope Anthony gets out of this messed up organization soon and goes where he will get a chance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195084204316698108.post-83161975470716214952012-01-06T10:09:59.916-06:002012-01-06T10:09:59.916-06:00I wouldn't completely write off Slama yet. Bo...I wouldn't completely write off Slama yet. Both Slama and Bromberg are coming off injuries. The Twins are very familiar with both. They also know what need to work on/improve to be viable big league pitchers. With all the pitchers they will be looking at for largely the first time, both Bromberg and Slama might be better off in the minor league camp working on the things they need to work on.<br /><br />Slama's chances of being an important part of a big league bullpen aren't that great, but if he can somehow improve his control, it could still happen.Jim Hnoreply@blogger.com
