Fatty Says Goodbye

Wow. More wonderful news from the Twins front-office! When Terry Ryan and Ron Gardenhire said they had big changes in store, they may have meant it. After letting Rivas going yesterday, they made another move they should have made a while ago: Getting rid of Matthew LeCroy. As everyone who reads this site knows, I am not a fan of LeCroy's. I am glad that the front office finally sees that they are overpaying a guy who's only good use is against left-handers. I grant that we don't have much against left-handers, but if Gardy doesn't want to be smart and platoon him against lefties, then they might as well get rid of him because he'll just hurt the team.

In addition, Glenn Williams and Jason Tyner were outrighted to Triple-A. This means, as with all the others, that they have been removed from the 40-man roster. That means that anyone of them could return, but its far more likely that Tyner, Williams, or Abernathy will return then LeCroy or Rivas. I'm sure we'll be seeing Fatty soon, where he belongs: In a beer league or, better yet, Tampa Bay.
