Yep. Stop feeding us bullshit. Actions speak louder than words.

Until then it's all just bullshit.

He's a below average major league hitter who can't field. In other words, right up the Twins alley.

Let me update my comment...

He's a below average major league hitter who can't field and is ultra cheap. In other words, right up the Twins alley.

It's a quintesential Twinsy acquisition to be sure. A cheap roster spot filler, who if by some miracle amounts to anything will be hastily dealt at the deadline for a 19 year old in rookie ball with 'nasty stuff' 'a live arm' and 'tons of potential', and a 7.00 ERA

No it's not.

If your goal is a cheap payroll and not winning games.

They also signed Orlando Arcia to a minor league contract.

Wagaman also has options....so he could be the backup for Lewis if needed. Wagaman can hit LH.

He murders LH pitching. He'll make a great platoon partner with Larnach and/or Wallner.

Arcia is 31 so that isn't terrible.

Hopefully we see some of Culpepper this year.
