Twins Trade For Orlando Cabrera!


In a sign of the new management.. hopefully.. the Minnesota Twins traded for and received Orlando Cabrera from the Oakland A's! He's a much better career hitter than Nick Punto and hopefully can help them produce from the number two spot in the batting order, where Alexi Casilla has failed all season. Nick Punto can still get plenty of games because of his defense, where he can spell Casilla and Crede and Cabrera so he's worth keeping around.

The one thing the Twins need to do is dump Mike Redmond! Jose Morales has been up with the Twins on numerous occasions and proven he can hit major league pitching! He hit .343 in 67 at bats with the Twins, in 32 games this season... where Redmond hit all of .242 in 33 games. Besides that, Morales is a younger player who can spell Joe Mauer and an play better defense as a better athlete than Redmond.

Go Twins!
