In fact, those who have made the most of limited physical talent would seem to be the ideal coaches, if you ask me.

Ziggy is not a true closer.
He is very valuable to us but U need a guy with great stuff who throws strikes and even though it’s early, Bailey makes Ziggy look like Dana Eveland and I mean that in a nice way.
He was the obvious closer for the A's until now
that we found a true closer. Ziggy will be huge as a ROOGY / 8th inning guy. If it’s the 7th and there are a couple of guys on I still think he is best suited for getting us a DP. We now have OPTIONS!!

But all of the back and forth with the Twins fans was in jest, and I didn’t actually ever have hard feelings about it towards anyone. Just towards the Twins I guess lol.
