Posted Monday July 14, 2008, About: Twins talk to Seattle about Beltre
Almost forgot, Bonser might be trade bait, too. He could join Silva as ex-Twins in the Mariners' rotation.

I, too, would be surprised if the Twins were willing to pick up a $12 million a year contract unless Seattle would eat maybe $3 million or $4 million. Perhaps it would take Lamb off the Twins' hands ??? though unlikely. If it doesn't by some chance happen, he would be the team leader in home runs and second in rbi. My guess is he would likely put up better numbers on a potential playoff team batting either between the M&M boys or behind them and in front of Kubel. Then Punto can be FT short and Harris the utility infielder for now. I also would not be surprised to see the Twins to release or package Monroe, possibly to Seattle in that deal, because Span is not going to return to AAA when Cuddyer's finger is healthy.

Also, I think Twins fan may have seen the last of Adam Everett. He and Lamb define why the National League is inferior to the American. While they were serviceable to good players in the NL, they are nice guys but stiffs in the AL. The pitching in the AL exposed their bats as overrated, and Everett already was known as a glove, no-stick guy. Yet, Punto is a human Sports Center highlight reel in the field compared to him.
