Here is my 2012 Twins Offseason Blueprint with those I feel will be added to the 40 man roster, those that will be signed as free agents, those that will be resigned or let go by the team and finally the Twins payroll for 2012. Let me know what you think and if you agree or disagree with some of my logic in this assessment.
1.) Remove Free Agents Jason Kubel, Michael Cuddyer, Jason Repko, Phil Dumatrait, Matt Capps, Kyle Waldrop, Rene Rivera, and Brian Dinkelman off the 40 man roster to leave the 40 man at 32 players on the 40 man.
2.) Non-Tender Kevin Slowey, Phil Dumatrait and Matt Tolbert to leave your roster at 30.
3.) Reinstate Nick Blackburn off the 60 day disabled list.
4.) Decline Joe Nathan’s 12.5 million option and instead pay him 2 million dollar buyout.
5.) Add minor leaguers Carlos Gutierrez, Tyler Robertson,and Yangervis Solarte to 40 man to bring total up to 33
6.) Sign Michael Cuddyer to a 3 year 33million dollar contract
7.) Sign Jason Kubel to 2 year 14 million dollar deal with a team option for 10 million for 2014.
8.) Sign Joe Nathan to a 2 year 16 million dollar deal
9.) Sign Jason Repko to a minor league deal
10.) Sign Matt Capps for 3years 9million
11.) Sign Jose Molina for 1 year 1 million
12.) Trade Denard Span, Angel Morales,and Jose Mijares for James Shields
13.) Sign Mike Cameron to a 1year 3million dollar deal
14.) Sign Frank Francisco to a 1 year 1million dollar deal
16. Sign Mike Redmond to manage in Rochester
17. promote Tom Brunansky to batting coach in Rochester
18. Part ways with Scott Ullger
19. Hire Paul Molitor as Bench Coach
