It looks like Josh Willingham is going to sign for 3 years and $21 million. This means that Michael Cuddyer will be going elsewhere and it means that the Twins will get compensated with two picks. Add in the likelihood that Jason Kubel goes elsewhere and the Twins will be getting three compensation picks. This should mean five picks in the first 55-65 picks taken, which is huge for replenishing the minor league system.
In other news: Jose Mijares was non-tendered, which is something that I like (though I would have preferred a trade). The Twins have Perkins and Duensing in the bullpen and have no need for a third lefty. I would assume that the emergence of Tyler Robertson in the second half of the season in New Britain might be a factor in this decision.
