Signing a guy in his mid-30s is a race against time.

Was talking with a baseball writer friend today and he thought it was a decent signing but didn't move the needle. Most of his reader feedback kind of poo-poo'ed it. I don't get that. The Twins have had success and now have a lot of pop from the right side. The division is pretty wide open and a lot of the big-name teams have gotten a little weaker in the AL. Unless you consider the Yankees unbeatable, I think it's going to be a real intriguing year.

And you will know MY JACKET IS GOLD when I lay my vengeance upon thee.
