Poor Kubel.

This. I like Thome as a veteran leader, but this can't bode well for Kubel, unless they plan on playing him in right field all the time with Span shifiting to center.

I'm pretty sure this doesn't affect kubel's playing time. The idea was to have Thome as a bench player and let kubel continue to DH. The Twins wouldn't do that to Kubel, especially after his #'s last year.

Great sign by the Twins

Thome i sgarbage. He will give you 15 HR and .235 avg playing 100 games. Doesn't help IMO. He hasn't been nearly as good since they have tested for roids.

Thome is going to be a bench player DHing here and there as needed. $1.5 million for him is a good price. It doesn't matter if he's declined or not over the past few years. He's not going to be playing on a daily basis and isn't going to hurt anything.

As a Sox fan, Thome was one of my favorites the past few years, but he just flat out sucked last year IMO. Then again as long as he is just a bench player and only making 1.5 mil I can't argue with that and it won't hurt the other lefties learning something from him either.

And his average dipped every year.

Strange...it went from .245 in '08 to a combined .249 in '09.

As for your "15 HR's" comment...yeah, cause Thome's never hit less than 23 home runs in a season where he's played more than 100 games.

Keep stretching there boss....

Does anyone even take Bodiaz seriously anymore at this point? All the guy does is come into threads and say idiotic things to try to stir up a fight. Just ignore him and you'll be much happier while browsing threads. It works for me. :D

I'm not sure if you're being serious or not, but there is a foe list that allows you to ignore all of his posts.
