Twins

Have any of you ever heard of C.J. Cron?

Me either, until yesterday.

He's the Twins projected new first baseman, now that Mauer's retired.

He hit 30 home runs for the Rays last year and he's not quite 30.

The thing is, the Rays WAIVED him, thinking he wasn't worth the $5 million they were going to pay him this upcoming season. That also means they couldn't find anyone that wanted to trade for him either.

So they just let him go.

The Twins don't have Vargas anymore, he signed with a Japanese team. They still have Tyler Austin, but I guess the Twins figure Cron NOW is better than Austin in the future.

That kind of reasoning doesn't give me much hope for either.
