Report: Brett Boone to Twins

[Impossibles]

from tsn.com http://www.sportingnews.com/baseball/

Brett Boone has been traded to the Minnesota Twins for cash or a player to be named later. The Twins will only be responsible for a portion of Boone's remaining salary.

Hmmm...I wonder if there is any life left in Boone. Surely he should be able to get some hits against a weaker central division. Might be a good pick up for fantasy baseball players.

The guy still has those quick hands and can play defense which the Twinkies need.

[General]

Confirmed by Rotoworld. Not much of a deal.

[Porter]

its for a PTBNL...its better than nothing.

[Element]

And also $150,000 of Boone's contract.

[The Philly Fanatic]

He could provide a bit of spark in his first few weeks. But who knows, the Twins aren't sacrificing a ton so if this isn't working out by the 31st, they can deal for someone else.

Revival.

[Lynch]

WEll, it's good/interesting to see that the Twins have made a move. Remember 2 years ago when we picked up Shannon Stewart and everybody yawned? I'm not saying this is the same thing at all, but a slight shakeup/addition can't hurt (at least I'd hope not).

I didn't yawn at the Stewart trade

[Kingdom]

I'm hoping he makes Seattle regret giving up on him.

[Lynch]

I didn't yawn at the Stewart trade

I didn't either, but there were a lot of people in the old forum as well as articles I read online/newspaper that made it sound like it was a bad trade by the Twins to give up Keilty for Stewart.

[Kingdom]

That's sad if people thought Kealtea was better than Stewart.

[Lynch]

Keilty was highly regarded by a LOT of scouts. In my opinion, he wasn't as good as the scouts were saying, but wtf do I know, I'm a casual fan. I do know a lot of fans were also pissed about it, probably because of what they had been reading from the scouts.

[Kingdom]

And then a wave of silence once Stewart was being mentioned as a possible MVP. Hah, justice! I doubt Boone will walk down the same road, but I would just love to see him hit up around 260-270 with solid power numbers. And let Seattle shove ..whatever replaced Boone.. up their..
