The Twins have signed a few minor league free agents.
Outfielder Luis Matos is a former top Orioles prospect who spent last season playing in Mexico.
Righthander Bob Keppel is a former Mets first round pick who has spent some time with the Royals and Rockies.
Lefthander Sean Henn was drafted by the Yankees and spent some time with the Padres last season. Has a big arm but hasn't figured it out. It will be interesting to see what Rochester pitching coach Bobby Cuellar gets out of him.
Finally, there's outfielder Joe Gaetti, the G-Man's kid. The Twins acquired him from Oakland in August and sent him to Class AA New Britain. He homered in his first at-bat for the Rock Cats -then tore his Achilles while rounding the bases and was done for the year.
These players should wind up at Rochester during the season. What it also means is that several minor league free agents - including Garrett Jones, Mariano Gomez, Julio DePaula, Danny Graves, Sergio Santos, Darnell McDonald and Felix Molina - will not return to the organization. I was told the only player with a chance of re-signing is Tommy Watkins. --- LEN3
