I believe that TR is a very good GM, and you may be right that this demonstrates that. However, the fact that the savings is about $500,000 (not huge money by any means) still makes me wonder whether it was worth it to send Cirillo away when there were other options (such as dumping Ford or Rodriguez) that I would have preferred. I do think that you've made a compelling point, however, and I appreciate the comment.JSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12207754797909843134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29090025.post-68296912158578367052007-08-07T09:57:00.000-06:002007-08-07T09:57:00.000-06:00I think you missed something:1) Arizona was not go...I think you missed something:<BR/><BR/>1) Arizona was not going to give up a prospect in addition to paying Cirillo's salary and the waiver price. My guess is they didn't even want Cirillo, they just wanted to prevent him from being traded to one of their rivals.<BR/><BR/>2) Once the Twins pulled Cirillo back, the window of opportunity to unload him without paying his salary was gone. <BR/><BR/>So you can keep your belief in Terry Ryan's brilliance. This actually demonstrates it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29090025.post-66049207874414181752007-08-05T11:17:00.000-06:002007-08-05T11:17:00.000-06:00Just heard Stan Cliburn on the Rochester Red Wings...Just heard Stan Cliburn on the Rochester Red Wings pre-game show mention Ford probably joining the club in Pawtucket in time for Monday's game. Cliburn mentioned that they will be working with Ford on his swing mechanics and that he will likely be back with the Twins in September.<BR/><BR/>Not good news on Chris Heintz, as he was hit by a pitch a couple of games ago and fractured a bone in his wrist. He may be gone for the season in Rochester and it's touch and go for him being back with the Twins - it depends on how well the wrist heals.<BR/><BR/>Tom - WaterportAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
