    Good signing. He will be a good clubhouse guy, provide some veteran leadership and a great bat off the bench. He will probably DH some if we have an injury in the OF.

    Kind of ironic though–he signs with the Twins the year after they moved out of the stadium he hit bomb after long bomb in!!

    I like it, same story for the Twins though, signing older guys to fill a void, but I’d sure like to see him come off the bench for a clutch hit! He is an avid deerhunter too, I enjoy watching him hunt, seems like a down to earth guy.

    Jim Thome has 57 career home runs against the Minnesota Twins, more than any other player in team history. For the 2010 season, at least, that number will go static as the 39-year-old slugger works on the number of homers he can hit for the Twins.

    It will be nice to see a few of his astro-shots go our way for a change.

    Is our new park supposed to be hitter or pitcher friendly???

    Not that it matters with his blasts but is it?

    Throw him at 2nd base, he can’t do any worse

    I do like the idea of signing Cabrera and moving him to 2nd tho!

    Cabrera is a unrestricted free agent and not on the Twins payroll.
