Nishioka to Twins (almost); FTLOSBW Gives Official Nickname
Looks like it's all but a done deal, we're going to the Far East for a middle infielder - intriguing.
Two things -
1. I like the move. Why not? We know what we got with Hardy (a lot of days off) and this opens up a little bit of a market in the Japan for the Twins.
2. FTLOSBW officially calling Nishioka - "Grogan" (click here) - "But Grogan, what about your irrational need to crush everything small!"
Note: Delta Airlines - keeps on giving with it's free wireless - 2nd FTLOSBW post at 33,000 feet and flying at 567 mph. Exciting times for FTLOSBW, exciting times.

Jan - thanks for bringing this up. The two biggest news items from the Twins over the past week have been:
1) The club actually ponying up for the rights to negotiate with this guy.
2) Trading Hardy for some prospects.
I love the Japanese move. What do we have to lose, other than the $27M they are going to pay him. In this day and age, that's just cost of doing business.
The Hardy move worries me a bit, because when he was healthy, I felt like he was a good player for us. Is Alexi Casilla officially the starting shortstop now?
Also, I noticed that Guerrier signed with the Dodgers (or the "Doyers" to their legions of Latino fans in southern CA). Does this mean that Neshek is fully back from his injury?
So great to talk about something other than the Vikes...
