It's too bad that the organization gave up on this season a few weeks ago right before the trade deadline.

No shit... I thought we got a good return for Garcia, but we took cash and a prospect for Kintzler. Anytime you take cash, you didn't get good value... And a good closer is worth it's weight in gold in the postseason. Kintzler wasn't a stud, but it's just one less reliable arm in a below average group of relievers.

Except for the fact that his contract was up at year end....that deal had me wanting to beat the shit out of a pholad.

Kintzler trade was a bust. Kid we got has like 8.00 ERA in A ball.

Hopefully we simply re-sign Kintzler in the offseason.

Yeah, we certainly weren't trading for the future there...well the pohlad financial future maybe.
