The Twins have signed 30-year old righty swinging outfielder Charlton Jimerson to a minor league deal. Jimerson played in 103 games in the Atlantic League (Independent ball) last season and he was 133 for 397 (.335 avg, .953 OPS) with 91 runs scored, 21 homers, 62 RBIs and 38 stolen bases. Before you get too excited about him though his career minor league numbers are not that impressive. Jimerson has played in 914 games in his minor league career and he is 878 for 3,403 (.258 avg, .767 OPS) with 530 runs scored, 144 homers, 459 RBIs and 261 stolen bases. Jimerson last played in the majors in 2008 with the Mariners. He has played in 31 games in his major league career and he is 4 for 9 (.444 avg, 1.556 OPS) with 8 runs scored, 2 homers and 2 RBIs. It never hurts to give a player like Jimerson a chance in spring training as he was once one of the more highly thought of prospects in the minors.
