Yeah, outside of Glen Perkins I don't have a clue. I just looked at their roster and I can't imagine who Atlanta would be looking at besides Perkins.Originally Posted by CrimsonCowboy

Brian Duensing
Not saying I want him just saying he is a lefty and the braves could be interested.
I hope not

He's not awful but yeah outside of Perkins I don't know.
They might be looking at one of their infielders to back-up short and third.
Pastor/Janish is plenty good enough.
Its been said that they are looking for a inf that bats left handed
And the Twins don't fit that quota. That's why its hard to imagine another match outside of Duesing or Perkins.
If you combine them, sure. But there's no room for both once we're healthy again. Janish cannot hit and Pastornicky can hit but isn't good enough to be a regular back-up at short. Plus he's never played third before either.
It's been reported that they're looking into a back-up infielder similar to Pena. I am not sure the Twins have someone that fits though. But it's hard to get worse than Janish with the bat.
We had that in Francisco but I know...
Sorry but not really
He isn't missed.
Just off the bench, he is.
If he could play more then 3rd he would still be here.
He can, he's done very well at first for the Brewers (even better than I expected). He's pretty much a first baseman now with the Brewers (rarely plays third for them). He also had a .852 OPS so far with the Brewers going into tonight.
This.
He never really got the chance to play 1st with the Braves and Freeman is usually there but still...
Would of been nice to keep him, still on pace for 20+ HR's.
We don't need a 1b. If he could play 2b, ss, and 3rd he would still be here.
And he has had some very bad errors with the brewers.
He can play 3B, he's better defensively than CJ.
not by much
and with as much has this team strikes out give more ABs to Juan would not have been a smart idea
He isn't missed.
While Juan doesn't have much of a sample size to judge on defense, he's around average. Johnson's defense at 3B costs around 15 runs. So you're looking at over a course of the season Juan saving at least 10 more runs than Johnson.

MLB.com's Peter Gammons was told that the Dodgers are prepared to offer Miguel Alfredo Gonzalez a contract in the five-year, $50 million range, which is expected to be enough to sign him.
"Word is Dodgers will go five years, close to $50 million," a general manager told Gammons. "If so, he'll be a Dodger." Gonzalez, a 26-year-old right-hander, left Cuba earlier this year and was declared a free agent by MLB on Monday. He's expected to be nearly major league-ready but seems unlikely to make an impact this season. The Braves, Cubs, Yankees, Red Sox, Rangers, Phillies, Blue Jays, Twins, and Marlins have also been connected to him.
When the Dodgers really want somebody, no one is going to be able to outbid them, so they will in all likelihood get whoever they want.
