As a Pat Neshek jersey shirt owner, I am upset! It seemed like this was somewhat of a long time coming, which is very unfortunate.

Petco is a good place for Neshek to land.

dark star said he had an attitude and that as much as his poor pitching ousted him.

Neshek might’ve angered management, but that was a year ago. They would’ve cut him then if it was relevant.

I wish Pat all the well in San Diego with O-Dog and Bartlett.

This is incredibly straight-forward. It boggles my mind why there would be any backlash about this move. Is it because he’s local?

Thanks for 06-07 Pat, but 600k is a lot of money to be paying someone to serve up meatballs with no movement in AAA.

I agree with Josh and Buddy. I think the Twins front office came to the conclusion that Neshek wouldn’t be able to contribute (the two homers allowed to righthanders last Thursday may have been the last straw) and they gave him a chance to get a fresh start elsewhere rather than bury him in AAA behind 4-5 other guys (Burnett, Slama, Gutierrez, Hoey, Waldrop, etc.) who would get called up before Pat.

Can we do the same to Perkins?
