Give new Tribe starter Kevin Slowey a chance with change of scenery - Comment of the Day

"The Twins went 0-14 in Slowey's 8 losses and 6 relief appearances. But before last year, Slowey was a pretty decent pitcher for several years. The guy may have been a clubhouse problem last year, but a team going 0-14 whenever he was on the mound might have led the guy to a breakdown, otherwise it would mean he did not care. Plus, the Twins were missing their regular outfielders and possibly some of those losses came from the replacements not getting to balls or making the right play in key situations. I think it's a good pick up." - MyTribe
