Tyner rips Twins ... sort of

PHERSY: So there's a story about Jason Tyner on the Strib Web site, and the headline reads "Tyner rips Twins for letting him go."

It's not as bad as it sounds, because if it was, I'd be ripping the living crud out of Tyner.

Here is Tyner's only real quote: “I thought I had earned my stripes (in Minnesota),” Tyner told the Medina County Gazette's Chris Assenheimer. “I had a tough role. You’d go a week without playing, but I thought I did my job. I guess they didn’t think about that when they made the decision. I’d like to get a shot at them. I know that.”

Hmmm, doesn't sound like he's really ripping them. It just sounds like he thought he did enough to stick around.

Tyner was and is a bit player. That's what he'll always be. He's a hustle guy who's nice to have around. Nothing more, nothing less. Take him for what he's worth.

Now if we could just get him to figure out what he's worth ...

Tyner was designated for assignment today by the Indians. Not worth much to them I guess.

I really don't think this is news. Tyner? I don't think he could make the Honkers.....Good luck Jason, have fun selling insurance, your career was/is over
