Review Icon irishgit reviewed Brewers trade J.J. Hardy to the Twins for Carlos Gomez in 2010 Baseball Offseason Moves:
In some ways this looks like a saw-off, but on potential upside, the Twins are way ahead. Hardy is a decent fielding shortstop with proven pop, and while he declined dramatically last season, he's only 26 and entering the years that players normally reach their peak. Gomez on the other hand is a good field, good speed, no hit outfielder, who is three years younger but doesn't look to get a whole lot better. The Twins have a long history of smart moves and developing players, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Hardy bounce back to pre-2008 standards and even improve on them.

Review Icon oscargamblesfro reviewed Brewers trade J.J. Hardy to the Twins for Carlos Gomez in 2010 Baseball Offseason Moves:
I think The Twins really got the better of this deal. Hardy had a bad year last year, but shortstops with pop are becoming fairly rare again. He's still young enough to turn it around. Orlando Cabrera has had a good career, but he is aging, and The Twins are probably wise to get younger at that key position.

Gomez is a good fielder and he has speed, but at the plate he is really a throwback to fast late 70's/ 80's guys like Omar Moreno. Gomez is one of those players who hit for, at best, mediocre averages with virtually no power and who offer little offensively beyond speed.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Brewers trade J.J. Hardy to the Twins for Carlos Gomez in 2010 Baseball Offseason Moves:
This trade looks good from both sides. The Brewers were disappointed with Hardy this year and ended up sending him to the minors during the season. Playing in Minnesota should give him a fresh start and hopefully revitalize his career. If Hardy can adequately replace Orlando Cabrera, then this move should be good for them.

The Brewers picked up Gomez, who should be able to replace Mike Cameron. Gomez is a young guy, and he will save them a lot of money by not resigning Cameron. That extra money should help them improve their weak rotation. Gomez never really became the start that some people thought he would when he was part of the Johan Santana trade. However, he is still really young, and could develop into a pretty good player yet.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Clayton Kershaw in 2009 National League Cy Young Candidates:
Kershaw was very impressive this season by finishing with the 5th best ERA in the NL. However, as one of the youngest players in baseball this season, the Dodgers were cautious with him and didn't allow him to throw a lot of pitches in many of his starts. That inability to last longer into games led to a mediocre 8-8 record. So despite being the best pitcher on a playoff team, I don't think Kershaw is ready for Cy Young consideration. However, the guy appears to be a stud and should be a Cy Young contender very soon.

Review Icon zuchinibut reviewed Adam Wainwright in 2009 National League Cy Young Candidates:
I'd make his teammate Chris Carpenter the Cy Young winner, but Wainwright would be one of my runners up. He led the NL in innings pitched and wound up with the most wins with 19. Only two other pitchers had more than fifteen wins in the NL, which makes his win total impressive. Meanwhile he still managed to finish fourth in the NL in ERA and had the 10th best WHIP. Wainwright and Carpenter were a great pitching combo this season, and I'm surprised it didn't lead to better results in the postseason.
