It's amazing that Oakland let Fillingim get away; it most likely cost them the World Series. It may be more amazing that the Twins got him as cheaply as they did.

Wait until you see his incredible stats. He has been hands down the best player in this league so far. And the Babe has been pretty good

I will post his final numbers as soon as he goes into the Hall.
