Morneau's Worth?

Justin Morneau has found a new home. He'll be teaming up with last year's national league batting champ, Michael Cuddyer this season in Colorado. The Rockies signed him to a two-year deal worth $13 million.

That's way more than most thought he would get.

It's possible that, if healthy, he'll be more than worth that price to the Rockies. It all depends on if he will recover the form he had before that devastating concussion. We're all rooting for him.

Speaking of former Twins, A.J. Pierzynski signed a 1-year deal with Boston worth over $8 million. For people who THOUGHT he'd come back to Minnesota this year, they found out why he won't. There's 8 million reasons.

Nick Punto signed a 1-year deal with Oakland for $ 3 million. I look for  the A's to win a world championship this year, now.

Delmon Young is back in Tampa Bay this year. Do you realize that, even now, he is just 28 years old? He's just starting to enter his prime.

Scott Baker still hasn't found a team. At 32, his prospects are waning. Both he and his agent are asking more than he's worth at this point. He says he wants to join the Cubs, but the Cubs aren't willing to meet his price.

Joe Nathan is close to 2-year $20 deal with the Tigers. At 39 years of age, that's an impressive salary offer for a closer.

Speaking of old relievers, LaTroy Hawkins at 41, was also signed by the Rockies this week. $2.5 million for the season.
