The Twins have acquired left-handed pitcher Tommy Milone from the Oakland Athletics in exchange for outfielder Sam Fuld. Milone made 16 starts for Oakland this season and posted a 6-3 record with a 3.55 ERA (96.1 IP, 38 ER). He will report to Triple-A Rochester. Additionally, the Twins have recalled first baseman Kennys Vargas from Double-A New Britain to take the spot of Fuld on the 25-man roster.

Now they need to fire Rick Anderson and get a real pitching coach in to help these young prospects

Why would they send him to Rochester... He is better than what they have now as a starting pitcher. He could be their ace on the Twins staff.

What I find funny about this trade is Fuld was originally in Oakland this year but the Twins Claimed him off waivers smile So basically get him for free, then drive the value up and turn him into something needed....Nice!

probably in aaa because he wouldn't be able to pitch for three days at least, just started two days ago it looks like. gives them time to send someone down or maybe trade correia or something else.

Not a bad deal at all. Fuld showed very little, how the heck did they get a viable rotation guy for him?

He actually looks like a legit starter. Think he should just get his Tommy John surgery now and be done with it?

With our recent track record you can almost guarantee he will make the 2015 AL All Star Team.

I agree 100%. We can get all the new pitcher's we want but without a better than average pitching coach, they will not improve. Trouble is, until Gardy is gone, Anderson I am sure stays.

We do have a coaching issue and have had one for some time, seems we trade away a lot of players who shortly after leaving the Twins, end up playing a lot better with a better than average amount getting into the all star game.

Only thing I can say is that our coaching lacks, we trade them away and then bingo, they are so much better. Maybe the Twins mgmt. Do not have eyes to see this.

Personally, I would trade away Mauer if we could get much for him the last years of his contract. be nice to dump that spendy contract and then maybe get 1 or 2 decent starters. I know this won't happen but one can dream.

Mauer has a no-trade clause in addition to his hefty salary. He isn't going anywhere except the training room...

      Don't take me wrong, I'm not anti-technology.  Battery powdered items will always have their place.  I'm mean you don't want your girl friend or wife in the bedroom playing for their gas powered adult toys!!  That would be a bit loud and smokey!

      That’s right. My 84 year old dad loves his electric chain saw. Light weight and quiet. Besides, at his age he’s not cutting a bunch. Where as myself I want something with more power and heavier duty.  Look at how many people have switched back to gasoline cars after running one in winter if you travel a lot.   As long as my strike master works I’ll keep using gas. Maybe my next will be electric, but who knows,  you can find used gas ones pretty reasonable as others buy electric.

      I think electric items have their places, I just don't think large commercial jobs are going to be able to work well with them. Can't see a logging crew out in the woods all day changing batteries!
