Twins Sign Nolasco

Assuming the terms are reasonable, I like it. He has more upside than the guys the Twins usually sign, and he's "only" 30.
Now, if it's a one-year deal, it makes no sense, as the Twins aren't going to contend and his value should be high after last year's performance. But if it's two years or better yet three, me likee.Only the madman is absolutely sure. -Robert Anton Wilson, novelist (1932-2007)

Longer than I'd like for a pitcher:
Four years, $49M guaranteed with a 2018 option. Gets $12M a year in 2014-17 with $1M buyout on option.
But overall, I can't complain...he's a genuine big leaguer who can actually strike a guy out when needed, very un-Twins-like. Target field should be a good environment for him, and he'll help the transition from the old crappy club, to one where the stud prospects take over. Good signing, IMO...I'll never complain about how much a player makes again, simply because the owners make so much more."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."
