Am sure his OBP isn't high enough to be a valuable addition.

Having him in the leadoff spot, especially with Gardner struggling, makes that lineup so hard to pitch to.

Yeah, I would love to have read the commentary in here if he had the same year with us in 2016 instead of the Yankees.

.217 .281 .336 .617. People would have been screaming about that worthless POS still being on our roster. Trades don't get made in hindsight. At the time of that deal, based on the careers both of them had to that point, it was pretty balanced. Looked like the Twins had somebody who could take over as the every day catcher in the near future. BTW, John Jacob Jingleheimer Murphy is doing pretty good for Arizona.
.257 .306 .507 .813 with 9 HR. That would look pretty good behind the plate for us.

Maybe the Twins organization simply sucks at player development at all levels throughout the organization, including at the big league level.

And for some reason, rarely does a player get better when they get here.

I'm sure some have, but none come to mind.

Maybe? I thought that was self evident.

My Yankee fan brother texted me this bullshit early in the morning, as if I care!

Hicks was not going to make it with this team. Whatever poison he was being fed here screwed him up same as it has most all of our young players.
He was skittish, scared and stupid here. He goes to NY, shaves his head and embraces the Yankees culture where accountability and leadership exists.
Gardy tried to be a tough guy hardass with Hicks, but couldn't pull it off because he wasn't holding other players (I am talking to you Joe Mauer) accountable. There were also no true leaders on this team when Hicks was around. Overall it was horrible environment for young players and apparently it still is.

Then I have to be put in a group text this morning to hear my Yankee fan friends and brother talk about Aaron Hickks?? I gave brother a fierce warning about ever texting me to report on the success of Aaron Hicks.

Any Twins player coming to the Yankees is dead to me.

We might as well sign David Price. He would fit right in with this club.

I am so freaking furious with this team I can't even stand it. I don't know if I have ever been this mad.
THe ineptitude has gone on long enough!

The track record speaks for itself.

Almost zero talent developed in 25 years and counting.

They got away from the disease.

We have to find players who are immune to whatever it is.

They wanted to "evaluate"
That was the first mistake they made and this isn't hindsight for a lot of us.

I think almost everyone here to a man was wondering why more firings didn't happen

He spent the 2006 and 2007 seasons in Rochester. He was/is a big star in Australia, almost legendary.

Is also 1-day manager Torii Hunter's birthday.
