Twins Sign LeCroy

The Twins brought back designated hitter Matthew LeCroy on a minor league contract yesterday (as found in the "Welcome Back" section near the bottom of this article). Before playing last season in Washington, LeCroy had spent his entire career in the Twins organization.

I like this signing, for the exact same reasons I suggested the Twins bring back Phil Nevin. If he makes the team, LeCroy gives a powerful bat off the bench, as well as an emergency catcher (as long as he can avoid making managers cry).

In addition, LeCroy will definitely pose no harm to team chemistry, as he was considered a clubhouse clown and was loved by teammates in his previous stint with the team.
