Twins And Livan Hernandez Agree To One-Year Deal

Quote:
AP - Veteran pitcher Livan Hernandez and the Twins have agreed to a $5 million one-year deal, according to an Associated Press report.

The right-handed Hernandez can earn an additional $2 million in performance bonuses.
After losing arguably the best pitcher in the league, they had to go and get an ace type of pitcher, and they got that in Livan Hernandez. He might not be the same pitcher he once was, but he can still give you around 200innings, and he can get you around 15 wins which is pretty good.

"How to hit home runs: I swing as hard as I can, and I try to swing right through the ball...The harder you grip the bat, the more you can swing it through the ball, and the farther the ball will go. I swing big, with everything I've got. I hit big or I miss big. I like to live as big as I can." Babe Ruth

I think this is a good signing. They needed someone since they traded Santana.
Unfortunately
for them he's no where near as good. But still he's a solid pitcher.

They're going to need at least another fifteen win pitcher to even attempt to compete.

Pitching to baseball is what defense is to the NFL.

The twins already have a decent staff, they have some young pitchers like Scott Baker and Liriano who both have great potential, the only thing that worries me about Lirano is that he's coming from a arm injury, and hopefully that wont effect him for the rest of his career.

But I agree somewhat with you that it's going to be hard for them to compete since they play in arguably the hardest division in Baseball.
