Figure a small 2 year deal to see if it works out couldn't hurt.<br /><br />I see last year a blip from him, more than a trend, you know, like "situation" not hooking up with Sam the first couple nights. You know he will bounce back cause girls love the situation.Heltonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350747157402784213.post-71754333042219077432009-12-11T23:04:36.973-06:002009-12-11T23:04:36.973-06:00Atkins was brutally bad last year, wasn't he? ...Atkins was brutally bad last year, wasn't he? He's probably worth a shot if he's super cheap, but for a guy who had one great season and a bunch of meh I probably wouldn't give up much, whether he's a free agent or would need to be traded for.<br /><br />Also, I just saw Brandon Lyon got a 3 year, $15 million contract from the Astros. Unreal how some teams just throw money at anybody. I might bitch about the Twins penny pinching ways quite often, but I'd rather have them than teams tossing up big contracts at middle relievers.WWWWWWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029975451902509241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350747157402784213.post-33687817691889972182009-12-11T22:58:39.308-06:002009-12-11T22:58:39.308-06:00What do you think about bringing in G.

Obviously he struggled this last year but the writing was on the wall that Ian Stewart the strike out king was moving into that spot. I figure you can get him dirt cheap now, with a huge upside. He was an RBI machine and plays a good 3rd base to boot. If Beltre is gone, who better is left?Heltonnoreply@blogger.com
