Gardenhire reflects on Torii Hunter

According to MLB.com Gardenhire is waxing philosophic about Torii Hunter and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, as the West Coast club gets ready to take on our home team this weekend.

While Gardenhire has stated he has text messaged Torii a couple of times about the Angel's recent loss of Nick Adenhart, Torii has had some messages of his own to his old organization, his ex-temmates and to his former fans in Minnesota:

You all disrespected my talents and decided I wasn't worth the money, so you let me go, thinking you could easily replace me. Well let me tell you Minnesota, the last laugh is on you as I'm sporting a .382 OBP and a .724 SLG percentage with three home runs and three doubles already this season to go along with my still stellar defense.  What have you got? You had to replace me with two people. You tried to replace my defense with a speedy and unproven youngster and you tried to replace my bat with a big Young leftfielder who can't play defense. Unfortunately for you, both of those two players don't add up to one Torii Hunter, and both of them take bigger hacks at the plate than my 84 year old blind gramma does when golfing from her wheelchair at Pebble Beach. You miss me Minnesota, you miss me...
