Brian Dinkelman signed as a minor league free agent.
Jared Burton signed as a minor league free agent.
Brendan Wise signed as a minor league free agent.
Jamey Carroll agreed to terms on a two-year contract.
The Rochester Red Wings website reports that the Twins have also signed Matt Carson, Samuel Deduno, Phil Dumatrait, Luis Perdomo, and Wilkin Ramirez as minor league free agents. These transactions have not shown up on the lists I use yet; presumably they will next week.
Nobody mentioned that Mrs. Dinkelman will still be around. +1 to that signing for that alone.
+2, I should think.
I wasn't going to be crass...
[redacted]
I'm always willing to pick up that responsibility.
I nearly did, but thought better of it. What if Mrs. Dinkelman were to come visit our little corner of The Tubes? Then what would we have to say for ourselves?
The WGOM: Those who care together, share together.
I'd take the heat, and then intentionally make it worse...'cause hey, why not? Brian could come after me, and I could be like, "Hey, a Twin knows who I am!"
Ah, "any publicity is good publicity". Or is it "it's not what you know, it's who" in this case? Either way, spoke like a true Hollywood type.
Meh, I doubt Brian Dinkelman would be one of the 100 biggest names I've met. But hey, it's time for another [redacted] around here. New Guy, we miss you more than ever...
Yeah, but Dinkelman's gotta know someone from the A's organization, who will know Billy Beane, who knows Brad Pitt and Michael Lewis. You gotta plan for the long haul, spooks.
Whoa. You just blew my mind.
I'd like to thank Mrs. Dinkelman for giving this TWITT one of the highest LTE counts ever.
I'm going to keep a wary eye out for gratuitous naming of Brian Dinkelman in future TWITTs.
