Twins sign Thome

Re: Twins sign Thome

Well he'll never play first base, and only start at DH once every couple weeks would be my guess.

He also should add a little versatility to the lineup, for the times when he gets a start at DH or maybe first base

Well, he signed as a pinch hitter of the bench. I bet he wont even get 100 at bats. But it will sure be nice in a tie game in the 9th to have him up rather than pop up punto.

The big question is that will he get the at-bats. That's most important, and I just don't know if Thome will get that with the Twins are even anywhere else. It's so hard to find a suitor when you're aging and a one-dimensional player.

Thome should fit well on that team. Great bat off the bench

Good deal, always been a Thome fan. Seems like an awesome guy and has always been a great player.

Solid bat off the bench. Something the Twins have been missing. Can spell Kubel at DH occasionally. Decent pickup.
