09:17 AM ET 12.10 | It's still not clear whether Michael Cuddyer will be back with the Twins. But the free-agent outfielder might be more valuable to the Twins than Joe Mauer or Justin Morneau, Joe Nathan said. "Everyone always talks about the Mauers and the Morneaus, but Cuddy's as important, if not more, and I think last year showed how he probably is a little more important to that club," said Nathan, the Twins' career saves leader who last month signed a free-agent deal with the Texas Rangers. "(It's) just with his versatility," Nathan said. "He plays every day. You won't hear anything (from him) if he's banged up - he goes out and plays the game. If he's not in the lineup, something's got to be keeping him from going out there - it's not going to be because he needs rest or anything like that. "I've always said, he's a baseball player, and it doesn't matter where he's out there, what position he's playing. He just wants to play the game."

The Guy can play just about every position on the field (even pitched last year)...
And he can hit some...
Surprised someone didn't jump when the Free Agency bell rang.

Agree. He is probably asking for 3 years at decent money. He made $10.5 million last year. His price tag may be more than most teams will be willing to pay, especially considering that his numbers are good, but they don't blow you away. Also, he is 32.

Any team could probably use this guy.
As for comparing his value to Morneau, yeah, I would take Cuddyer right now. Less in salary, more versatile, and no concussion problems. Morneau looks like he may never be the same.

the risk when you sign long terms its greated than anybody would expect, but even with all those deals backfiring every team they can't stop aiming at long terms!!

honestly i would like to add jose constanza and conrad to angels roster, i like the versatility and flexibility from this two players, plus they allways had find a way to spark a rally in every other game especially if the team its down by 3 or 4 runs in the nine inning!!
