Look at this guy we just traded for clyde....he makes Exhausto look like Bob Feller...


Slowey split last season between the Twins and Triple-A Rochester. He went 0-8 with a 6.67 ERA in the majors and spent time on the disabled list.

He made eight starts and six relief appearances, and the Twins went 0-14 in those games. According to STATS LLC, Slowey became the first major league pitcher to make at least eight starts and lose them all since Lou Sleater of the St. Louis Browns in 1951.

You know ,Mr. Coursey.....there comes a time when you cease making fun of a team's Front Awful---I mean Office.

Their moves become so .........out there...that they don't look real.One cannot poke fun at this anymore.



It's just too........awful.

They can't be serious, yet they are.

And they actually given up a player for him.



I wouldn't have given them Urns for him.

Not even Valbuena.

Unreal.

You do realize holding a fan contest to fill a pitching staff role could yield better?


I'm not kidding!

It's like their goal was to seek out the worst pitcher in MLB last year, offer a body for him and things will be well. He was on the Rockies roster and we traded Zach Putnam, a minor league pitcher. He played for the Twins last year, so was basically the worst pitcher on the worst team in the league.

To be fair Slowey's first 4 years he went 4-1, 12-11, 10-3 and 13-6. so maybe it is not so bad.

I tend to look at recent...''accomplishments".



The worst pitcher on the worst team is enough for me.

The Tribe seems to look for those types.

Because we have plenty of them.
