Jonathan Broxton is signing with the Royals for 1 year/$4 million plus incentives. The Twins really missed out on taking a chance on him and the price was right. I am guessing the Twins are looking in the direction of Brad Lidge and Frank Francisco, but I worry about paying for than $6 million for either one of them. Signing Octavio Dotel as a setup man with Perkins and throwing Carlos Gutierrez into the closer role is kinda where I am at right now. Unless they want to do something interesting and sign Rich Harden as the closer. Thinking outside of the box here is the way to go.
The Twins cannot sign Matt Capps, right? He would provide another pick for them if he signs somewhere else. Replenishing the bottom of the system is going to push people like Adrian Salcedo, Manuel Soliman, Madison Boer, Miguel Sano, Eddie Rosario, JaDamion Williams, Levi Michael, Nate Roberts, Michael Gonzales, Lance Ray, etc. up a bit quicker, and that would be a good thing (Fort Myers in July and August could be a really fun team to watch, as far as minor league baseball goes).
