Still, I remember wondering why the Twins gave up on him when they did. As for Dunwoody, I thought the same thing, but it's actually not as ironic as it initially might seem. At least one Hall of Famer credits <a href="http://www.baseball-reference.com/l/lauch01.shtml" rel="nofollow">this man</a> for working wonders with his swing.

He's a tantalizing pitcher to watch, because on some days he has truly unreal stuff. Ortiz ascent has been fabulous, and a lot of credit goes to Boston's hitting coach for closing up the holes he had on the inner half. Even as a Yankee fan, you can't help but like and root for a player with an infectious smile like Big Papi. Let me get this straight, Dunwoody couldn't hit, and became a hitting coach? Very ironic. Great post Geoff. I too thought that Vasquez had ace material when the Yanks dealt for him. He’s a tantalizing pitcher to watch, because on some days he has truly unreal stuff.
