So the Twins trade for Delmon Young, he performs slightly better for them than he did for the (Devil) Rays, and now they want to move him.

This deal looks worse and worse for Minnesota.

I really don't think the Twins should trade Delmon Young.

Ultimate sell low, IMO.

Jon Garland, pleasepleaseplease accept arbitration. Your mad iNNiNgZ eAtEr sKiLLz will be greater exemplified in next year's free agent class. kthxbai.

yeah. let's just all keep in mind how old delmon is.

of course, the white sox fan in me says, by all means, sell low, twins. it’s not like you guys could use a guy who is capable of hitting double digit home runs.

Methinks they're the ones that told him not to, on the other hand.

It’s intriguing to me how differently Bill Smith works from Terry Ryan. Young seems like exactly the player Ryan would have avoided, same goes for Mike Lamb, Brendan Harris, and I doubt he would have gone after Blake in his present state. Gardenhire seems to echo this sentiment with his recent comments about Young.
