Anytime you can lock up a 39 year old homophobic replacement level OF for 10 mil/year, ya gotta do it.

1 year deal- the money doesn't really matter since they probably weren't going to spend it on anyone else anyway. At least they didn't do something stupid like give him 3 years.

It's almost as if the front office is completely making things up as they go along without any semblance of a plan.

Management just twiddling their thumbs until Buxton & Sano arrive to take us to the promised land.

Torii Hunter brings back his leadership, determination & fight to win, positive attitude, respect of the game and his willing to play hurt!

Not only is it a bad baseball signing, but watching Torii lumber around the field will prob ruin a decent chunk of my childhood memories.

Meh, he's an upgrade from Willingham in every aspect. I kinda like it, maybe he can rouse up the troops a little.

Still need another starting pitcher tho.

Twins sign Ervin Santana to 4 yrs/54m

I always thought he seemed solid with the Angels.

Nice; definitely a decent upgrade over everything we have except Hughes.

I like it. 180 k/s last year and good peripherals.

+1. Looks like Terry Ryan did well here. Almost the opposite of the Nolasco deal.

I think Santana is closer to Nolasco than people think and might even be worse.

I'd really really (x1000000) like to see the team upgrade its defense at some point or the run prevention won't actually get much better.

Hughes gets 3 yr extension for 42 mil, making his total remaining deal 5yrs/58mil.

Carl might be rolling in his grave furiously......

80 game suspension for Santana; we (MN sports) just can't seem to catch a break. Season hasn't even started yet. How are these idiots still getting caught? Either do it and be 100% certain you aren't getting caught or don't ****ing do it. It's not that difficult of a concept.

(3:40:12 PM) Friend: Twins pitcher Ervin Santana has received an 80-game suspension without pay after testing positive for Stanozolol.
(3:41:24 PM) SL__72: lol
(3:41:40 PM) Friend: call up may!
(3:42:51 PM) SL__72: They're totally going to put Pelfrey back in the rotation
(3:44:39 PM) Friend: I wish they wouldn't.
(3:56:56 PM) SL__72: It just fits their general trend of making the most boring decision possible whenever they've had the opportunity this spring.
(3:59:24 PM) Friend: yeah, it's already done. *they recalled aaron thompson for a second lefty in the bullpen and are moving pelfrey.
(3:59:37 PM) Friend: well, third lefty but perkins
(3:59:41 PM) SL__72: haha
(4:00:16 PM) SL__72: My guess based purely on pessimism was correct.

An internet search was not helpful. I'm looking for a picture of a twins fan with a bag over their head. I don't care if it's a cartoon or a real picture. Need a new facebook profile pic to replace the normal Twins logo, especially since I live in Detroit.
