The Twins have money to burn

The St. Paul Pioneer Press recently reported that the Twins had 22 million dollars to burn. With today’s signing of Livan Hernandez for 5 million, that leaves 17 mil to throw around. What can they do with all that money? Well, I have some suggestions.

– Veteran center fielder, like Kenny Lofton or Corey Patterson to give the youngThe Twins have money to burnsters more time to develop.

– Coupons to Old Country Buffet for Livan and Boof Bonser.

– Create a series of instructional videos teaching Nick Punto the fundamental physics of why it’s a bad idea to dive into first base. Swimmers dive into the pool because they need to become horizontal. Nick Punto needs to stay upright and run through the base.

– Create a series of instructional videos teaching Nick Punto how to hit.

– Find a nice home for Carl Pohlad.

– Anger management sessions for Delmon Young.

– A third catcher (submitted by Ron Gardenhire).

– Pay for Justin Morneau’s wedding.

– Pay for my wedding.

– Find someone willing to marry me.

– Get new “Third place in the AL Central” team rings.

– Johan Santana. (Crap.)

– Steroids for Alexi Casilla

– A bribe so MLB looks the other way.

– Trips home for Joe Mauer.

– And Glenn Perkins.

– And Pat Neshek.

– A vowel for Kent Hrbek

– The entire Pittsburgh Pirates roster.

All of these are good ideas.
