Minnesota Twins closer Joe Nathan suffered a torn elbow ligament, which will sideline him for all of the 2010 season. Nathan is coming off a season which he recorded forty seven saves, four of which came at the Tigers expense. He faced Detroit in ten games, allowing just six hits over that span.
I’m not one to generally cheer for someones misfortunes, but I couldn’t help but smile when hearing this. Perhaps I’m still bitter over the way last season ended. (I refuse to link to this, as none of us need a reminder of just how that went down.)
For the Twins, the loss will leave them scrambling to find an adequate replacement to fill their bullpen. Apparently one Twins fan is already feeling the pain.
