Twins!!?? Damn, with all the secrecy about the teams involved, I was certain that he was going to sign with the CIA.

But what about Nishioka? He was a gold glove, all star, batting champ in Japan How soon they forget…
Seriously, I like the move, if it actually does happen. I just didn’t have a lot of faith in their other SS options. Just imagine how many errors Plouffe would have if he were to play a full season at SS. We would set a new Major League record.

Japan is like AA ball with even worse pitching.

This is a good signing for the Twins. Low risk-average reward type signing. People on here are complaining about our SS hole, when they forget Nishioka can play 2nd and SS. I think they’ll adjust accordingly depending on how the season goes. Right now I expect a platoon in the middle infield between Carroll, Nishioka, and Casilla. Out of those three, I would prefer the two former, and Casilla in clutch situations (at the plate, obviously).

Never heard of him. Good to know, though.

I respectfully disagree, but I do understand what you’re saying. Still, I’d rather platoon Raburn and a guy like Santiago than trust a mediocre 38 year old. Thankfully, Dombrowski seems to want a bigger splash. (I am hoping for Kelly Johnson…)

They better not sign Kelly Johnson. Do you really want to sign Kelly Johnson and lose our first round pick. If we’re going to sign a type A free agent, it better not be Johnson.

What the f***does this story have to do with the Indians?! They could’ve used him at the end of the season past. Window closed.
