Assuming that his back is okay, is one of the more underrated defensive third baseman in the game. He is prone to droughts at the plate, and will never hit for a high average, but can provide good protection for Mauer and Morneau because he is a tall, skinny, white guy (like they are) and has enough pop in his bat to always be a threat. Joe came up with the Sox so it is hard to see him go, especially since we will now have to face him in the same division; but hopefully he does well. Just not against the Sox. Good move for the Twins. He's a scrappy player and will fit right in. As you know, having faced him now for nearly a decade, Joe Crede is a really solid and underappreciated player.
