Good athlete, wish Twins had hung onto him. Better future than our current waste of money. Hope they get him out of this.

of course, the joke on the radio was the govt should offer matt capps for him. that being said, this doesn't bode well for winter league in Venezuela.

This is great news, and I'm especially happy for Wilson and the Ramos family, but I still think we could have negotiated a hostage swap for Matt Capps.
