Twins First Trade of the Winter

Wednesday, the Twins shipped out 3 players, including Matt Garza for Delmon Young and two players.

I'm still unsure what to think about the trade as of yet. I do know that watching Garza was sometimes a frustrating experience, as the kid clearly has a rocket arm. How coachable is he? I guess we'll leave it to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to find out.

I like getting a young hitter just before he truly hits his stride, and I think Delmon Young may be just that. If he can hit with just a bit more power, the every day heart of the order could be a difficult and intimidating left-right-left-right of Maurer, Young, Morneau and Cuddyer.

But Aaron Gleeman, because he is a scary stats cruncher, is looking at all the players involved in the deal. You should read what he has to say.
