You remember Brad Thomas, don't you. One of those lefty prospects, a pitcher the Twins dug out of the Australian outback.
Parts of three seasons, 11 games, 23+ innings. Walked 18, struck out 8 to go with 33 hits and a lifetime 9.89 ERA.
Been pitching for the Red Sox minors, spent a couple of years in Japan, got a shot with the Mariners AAA in '07, then retreated to Korea.
But, he's a lefty.
Everyone that needs his autograph on a Twins card, send to Detroit spring training...early.
But it doesn't end, yet. Luis Ayala, the guy who wanted to be setup, who dreamed of closing, is taking a ride with the Dodgers in spring training, after his parting with the Twins in mid-2009 and his walkout from the Marlins later in the season.
Anyone hear if Sidney Ponson has found a job for 2010 yet?

1 million?
I’d think he would have signed somewhere for the league minimum…. Why would Detroit of all teams hand him 1000 grand?
