Uh Oh: Twins Checking out CF Julio Borbon of Texas Rangers

[phalvorson]

Per Darren Woolfson of ESPN1500:

Twins Kicking Tires On Julio Borbon: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com

 

"Borbon, 27, was designated for assignment by the Rangers yesterday...Borbon hit .304/.349/.433 in 584 Triple-A plate appearances last year."

Why would this be such a bad thing? If/when Hicks is sent down the Twins need another CF/4th OF. No use in bringing up someone who isn't ready from AAA to fill that void.

Looks like another thread was simultaneously started at http://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-talk/5960-wolfson-dfa-d-borbon-possibility.html Dunno if the mods have steps they take to combine the two?

[snepp]

No need to combine them, I'll just flex my lockination muscles.

 

 

Take that!
