The Minnesota Twins have signed 3B Mike Lamb and SS Adam Everett. 32-year old lefty swinging Mike Lamb signed a 2-year, 6.6 million dollar contract with an option for 2010. Lamb played in 124 games last season for the Astros and he was 90 for 311 (.289 avg, .819 OPS) with 45 runs scored, 11 homers and 40 RBIs. He has now played in 844 games in his major league career and he is 681 for 2,421 (.281 avg, .766 OPS) with 358 runs scored, 68 homers and 313 RBIs. 30-year old righty swinging shortstop Adam Everett became available after his old team (Astros) acquired Miguel Tejada in a trade. Everett played in 66 games last season for the Astros and he was 51 for 220 (.232 avg, .599 OPS) with 18 runs scored, 2 homers, 15 RBIs and 4 stolen bases. Everett has now played in 649 games in his major league career and he is 531 for 2,145 (.248 avg, .656 OPS) with 257 runs scored, 35 homers, 214 RBIs and 59 stolen bases. Everett is one of the best defensive shortstops in the majors and he will have his work cut out for him playing next to Mike Lamb who is an awful defender at 3B.

The Twins have decided that they don’t have a place on the roster for Jason Tyner so they let him become an unrestricted free agent. Tyner played in 114 games for the Twins last season and he was 87 for 304 (.286 avg, .686 OPS) with 42 runs scored, 1 homer, 22 RBIs and 8 stolen bases. Tyner has now played in 439 games in his major league career and he is 373 for 1,356 (.275 avg, .638 OPS) with 168 runs scored, 1 homer, 94 RBIs and 61 stolen bases. He will likely hook on with another team as a #4 or #5 outfielder.

The Twins have signed Casey Daigle to a minor league contract. He last pitched in the majors in 2006 with the Diamondbacks and he has had a rough time in the majors so far. Daigle has pitched in 20 games (10 starts) in his major league career and he is 2-3 with a 6.46 ERA and a 1.79 WHIP. He has now worked 61.1 innings in his career and he has allowed 77 hits, walked 33 batters and whiffed 24. Don’t expect much from him in 2008.
