I think the analysis is great, but a LH reliever as the key piece back just doesn't seem likely with three already in the pen. Not to mention, I think Julien remains prized in the organization as a future FIRST base prospect.
From your lips to God's ears on the defense. Last year was the most difficult season I've seen from a Twins team defensively in a generation. Not to malign Billy Smith about everything that went wrong last season, but we have to hope that Terry Ryan's track record when it comes to fundamentals will reappear.
