The Toronto Blue Jays released DH Frank Thomas today after a slow start this season. Thomas batted .167 in 16 games in 60 at-bats. This sparks the question if the Twins should pickup Frank Thomas, I for one think we could really use Thomas. This guy eats up the metrodome and we’ve never truly had a traditional DH player. Why not take a chance on him? Can we fork up 6-8 million dollars to pickup this guy? I say give him a chance, it’s some much needed offense in our already struggling offense. Even if he only hits 20 home runs, that’s probably more production than we’ve received in this role. His numbers last year were pretty productive with a .277 AVG, 26 HR, and 95 RBI’s…not to mention 30 doubles and 81 BB’s. This is the kind of production that we could definitely use in our lineup and might push us over that hurdle to compete in this ultra-competitive AL Central division.

For once in our lifetime, can the Twins fork up some dough and pursue this monster of a human being. We need an “ogre” in our lineup, Cleveland has one in Travis Hafner so why can’t we have one? Oh wait, I forgot that we’re the Twins and don’t have power hitting DH’s? Personally I’d like to see him tear apart the Bitch Sox. BRING ON THE BIG HURT!!!
