The Twins continued their offseason of resignings by giving reliever Jesse Crain a three year. Crain, who has been with the Twins for the duration of his three year career, has been an integral part of the Twins bullpen for the past few seasons.
Keeping a guy like Crain provides an instant boost for the Twins bullpen. In 2005, Crain was flat out filthy. Appearing in 75 games, he posted a 2.71 era for the Twinkies and won an astounding 12 games out of the bullpen. In 2006, Crain appeared in 68 games, posting a 3.52 era. This is yet another great signing by the Twins, who have already resigned catcher Joe Mauer and MVP first baseman Justin Morneau.
Next on the list for the Twins, Cy Young pitcher Johan Santana. Santana, who says that he wants to stay with the Twins, warns that the price for his return will only get higher as time progresses.
