I was a little surprised by this signing as I figured Brendon Harris would probably be the starting SS. But now that I look at it, I guess Harris is more of a 2B/3B guy. So I'm guessing it'll probably be Harris at third, Everett at short and Casilla at second.
I think Casilla is really going to have a good year this year and I think he'll develop into a great top-of-the-order weapon. Harris brings a track record of good offense from Tampa, so he should be able to contribute. I guess with those two, Everett fits in pretty well then. He won't do too much offensively, but will be a vacuum up the middle.
If the Twins end up getting Jacoby from the sox (and hopefully Bucholz along with him) for Santana, I think this coming season can be a very exciting one for the Twins.
It seems a lot of people think the Twins are just throwing in the towel for now and building for 2010, but I don't think that's the case. Bill Smith is retooling the team for success for the present and the future. I for one was extremely excited about the trade for Delmon Young. With him, Morneau and Mauer the Twins have 3 of the top 10 or so young sluggers in the league!
