Helping the Little Guy

No new post here tonight, but I did do a guest post for this little site to help fill in while their baseball blogger is on vacation. I wrote about the need to set aside money for a Francisco Liriano extension. Cruise on over, I'm sure their upstart operation would appreciate having a little traffic sent their way.

Referring to the ESPN thing...the Twins could have afforded Oswalt. They have the Nathan insurance money in 2010 to play with, that would've covered all or most of Oswalt in 2010. The Astros sent $11M along with Oswalt, that would've covered all but $5M of Oswalt's salary in 2011. The Twins are likely to have to either overpay for Pavano in 2011, or replace him with a FA. $5M for Oswalt in 2011, plus a $2M buyout in 2012, would've been a fantastic use of resources.
