Twins Find Third Baseman in Japan ::
Having already lost the lottery for Bill Mueller, and apparently out of the running for Nomar Garciaparra, the Twins turned to the other side of the Pacific to find a new third baseman. The Minnesota Twins announced earlier today that they've agreed to a one-year deal with former Major Leaguer Tony Batista, who spent last season with the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks. Batista is a career .251 hitter in the majors with 214 homeruns and 681 RBIs.
The Twins also announced that they signed 33-year-old catcher Shawn Wooten to a Minor League contract, and he will be invited to Spring Training.
