In a very un-Twins-like move, it appears as though the team has signed White Sox third baseman Joe Crede to a one year deal. As a Twins fan, you've got to love this move. Crede is an injury liabilty, yes. But, the upside of this signing is that you don't lose anything if he doesn't pan out or is further plagued by injuries. Gardenhire will just move back to his Buscher/Harris platoon approach at Third base, a combination that helped put the Twins into a one game playoff with the White Sox last year. Crede is a solid veteran and should be a big pickup for the Twins.
If Delmon Young (who is very, well, young) can mature into the power hitter people say he will, we could be looking at a very scary lineup: 1: Denard Span 2: Alexi Casilla 3. Joe Mauer 4. Justin Morneau 5. Joe Crede 6. Delmon Young 7. Jason Kubel (sometimes Cuddyer) 8. Nick Punto/Brendan Harris 9. Carlos Gomez
On the surface, this seems like a great move by the Minnesota Twins.
