The Fogg of Free Agency
The Twins are looking to sign Josh Fogg if the Santana deal goes through:
I don't mean to slight Fogg, but if you're a Twins fan, that can't be all that comforting. "Who cares if we lost Johan Santana? We're getting Josh Fogg!" It doesn't exactly keep you warm during those cold Minnesota winter nights. Though I suppose he'll come in handy should a dragon start terrorizing the Twin Cities.
In case the Twins haven't noticed, Josh Fogg isn't very good. He had a career year in 2007 and went 10-9 with a 4.94 ERA.
Oh, but he gives you that veteran leadership. Like Pedro Feliz. Or Neifi Perez. Or Matt Morris.
They bring the intangibles. At least that's the idea; they certainly don't bring any tangibles.
But last year he was the DRAGON SLAYER!!...Until he got slayed himself by the Sox in WS...
