Twins swinging a blockbuster

According to La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the Twins are very close to completing a blockbuster deal that would send Matt Garza, Jason Bartlett and Juan Rincon to the Tampa Bay Rays for Delmon Young, Brandon Harris and Jason Pridie.
I like the deal for a few reasons. First, it signals a shift in the demands for Johan Santana, namely, they don't need an outfielder anymore, instead needing an infielder. Either the Yankees have to step up their offer, including Robinson Cano AND a top pitcher, or it's not going to happen. The Angels and Dodgers now become front runners in the Santana sweepstakes.
Second, Bartlett and Harris are of equal value, but Harris is a better hitter, while Bartlett is better in the field. The Twins need offense at this juncture more than defense. In any case, they have plenty of good defensive utility players.
Third, Pridie had a wonderful year at AAA and stands to be the center fielder of the future.
Fourth, Rincon's salary is off the books, perhaps allowing the Twins to chase Aaron Rowand as LEN3 reports in his update.
Lastly, I'm encouraged that Bill Smith is OK with shaking the roster up. Terry Ryan was conservative to a fault, and Bill Smith appears aggressive and intent on winning as well as saving payroll where it's important.
