Memo To Bill Smith

With the AL Central title available to anyone who wants to take it, I think it's time for the Twins to address some of their shortcomings; the most glaring of which, is third base. Mike Lamb is currently hitting .238/.273/.320 and it's becoming increasingly clear that he is best used as a part time player. I know that completing a trade is a lot more complicated than the average blogger would like, but maybe the Twins should take a look at this guy or this guy. Or maybe they should just call up him or him. All four of these guys should be able to put up comparable numbers to "The Hammer", with the plus side being that they might actually improve (what a novel concept). Alas, it is well known that the most important statistic for Ron Gardenhire (especially for position players) is service time, so it's hard to believe that anything is actually going to happen. After all, Mike Lamb has a track record.
