Acquired in 2008 as part of the Johan Santana trade, Phil Humber had a 6.10 ERA with the Twins, with 5 home runs allowed. He only worked in relief, and managed a WHIP of over 2. In short, in his brief time in Minnesota, he was not very good.
You might think the team gave up on him too early before letting him go, since he only worked 20 innings with the big league club, but truly and honestly, he wasn’t very good in the minor leagues either. He was just a late bloomer. The Twins gave him two years. Let him have his moment after today’s perfect game, and don’t worry over what might have been. It was never going to be anything.
