So what's it going to be?
The baseball winter meetings are coming up, starting a week from today. It's usually the time of year for all the big off season moves to either get made or for the seeds for those moves to be planted. All the GMs are in one place, there to talk about baseball and their teams, maybe to change a few rules, but definitely to talk about the next season.
The Twins, historically, are one of the quieter teams during the meetings. Ever since Bill Smith has taken over, his biggest moves are either before or well after the deadline. To wit:; before the meetings, he has traded for Delmon Young and swapped Carlos Gomez for JJ Hardy, after the meetings, he dealt Johan Santana and signed most of his free agents, like Orlando Hudson and Jim Thome last year.
The Twins have already added (probably) one player in the artistic Tsuyoshi Nishioka, but have refrained from any multiplayer trades. Keep in mind that, for the most part, the team has indicated that they seem to be OK with the status quo by signing Ron Gardenhire to an extension. I guess what I'm trying to say is, enjoy the rest of baseball blowing up next week, because the Twins won't do anything. Just wait 'til March, though, when Smith will fill the remaining holes on the cheap.
