January 13, 200422 yr From Rotoworld: Twins signed RHP Rick Helling to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training. Although Helling might still be useful as a middle reliever, he's no longer capable of helping a quality team as a starting pitcher. The Twins will give him a chance to win a rotation spot, but they need to keep looking for upgrades. Not a major signing or anything but its more than we have done lately....
January 13, 200422 yr watch him win the #5 spot in spring training and then promptly win 15 games this yr. then again he's never had an era under 4.30.
January 13, 200422 yr I think Helling will become a pretty good middle relief guy for them. I doubt they give him a chance to start.
January 13, 200422 yr Didnt want this guy anyway he is no better then Cotts would be or Rauch for that matter I think Danny Wright is a better pitcher then helling guy had one good year thats it.
January 13, 200422 yr Cotts has yet to play a full year and Rauch hasn't played at all but wright has been better then helling in the last few years and he isnt anywhere near the exp. that helling has so what does that tell you. I rather have Erickson then helling Helling is a s***y pitcher plain as that
January 13, 200422 yr Danny Wright's 3 Big League Seasons 2001- 5-3 with a 5.70ERA in 66 IP 2002- 14-12 with a 5.18 ERA in 196 IP 2003- 1-7 with a 6.15ERA in 86 IP
January 13, 200422 yr Hellings stats And here is heling numbers that is so much better that were screwed cause we didnt get him??? 2001 12-11 5.18 era 215 INNINGs 2002 10-12 4.51 era 175 INNINGs 2003 7-8 5.71 era 138 INNINGs
January 14, 200422 yr I would hav rather had this guy then Person. He seemed to do a nice job for Florida down the strecth, and I thought mayb Ozzie bein here he mite hav come. Hopefully he doesn't succeed down at Twinkeyville.
January 14, 200422 yr I would hav rather had this guy then Person. He seemed to do a nice job for Florida down the strecth, and I thought mayb Ozzie bein here he mite hav come. Hopefully he doesn't succeed down at Twinkeyville. Different situations. If Person can get back to form, I would take him no problem.
January 14, 200422 yr Ohh Goodie now he can serve up some homers to the Sox... Helling is Brutal. He won 20 games with an ERA close to 5. Person was nasty in Philly but.... Astacio's rehab has gone to pot, Guess he'll be signed for way less for the stretch run for some team. I guess Damien Moss sould be looked at
January 14, 200422 yr Finally makin some sense there Josh. I'd take Moss over Person and Schowenwrong anyday
January 14, 200422 yr To Whoever! Sorry for my lack of understanding, but I'm still rather new at this and needed some help. I have an idea on how to get a picture underneath a post through another previous thread answer. My question is, what the heck does the word avatar mean, and in the "my controls" section, you can either edit avatar settings,(add picture), or "Change Personal Photo". What's the difference in them both, and how do you get them on the post? Is the avatar a Logo, etc,? And is that the choice,"OR Personal photo" that gets pasted in the upper left of each post? In the meantime, Still looking for the right pics. Also, I noticed that I can never change my font sizes or boldness! Thank You to whoever responds!
January 14, 200422 yr Minnesota's signing of Helling is a classic case of substraction by addition. This is good news for our side. Helling should serve up a lot of HR's for the Sox sluggers, assuming that Ozzie gets over his bunting kick.
January 14, 200422 yr The Sox have always knocked Helling around pretty well. I hope we see a lot of him in our 19 games vs. the Twinkies.
