Wondering Where They Are ... 2009 Edition

I saw report yesterday that Everyday Eddie signed a minor-league deal with the Rangers. Good for him. Even though I was happy to see him again last year, it became clear that it wasn't going work between us. So I'm happy he found a new home in a familiar place.

Of course, that got me to thinking about other former Twins. We all know that there was very little movement for the team this off-season. Let's look at the Free Agent Tracker and see what's up...

Player	Status	Old Team	New Team
Adam Everett, SS	Signed	Minnesota	Detroit
Eddie Guardado, RP	Signed	Minnesota	Texas
Nick Punto, SS	Signed	Minnesota	Minnesota
Dennys Reyes, RP	Free Agent (B)	Minnesota	--

Ok. Well here's hoping our pal Dennys hooks on somewhere.

Let's look up some other former Twins.

Player	Status	Old Team		New Team
Livan Hernandez, SP	Free Agent	Colorado		Detroit
Jacque Jones, LF	Signed	Florida		Cincinnati
Mike Lamb, 3B	Signed	Milwaukee		Milwaukee
Doug Mientkiewicz, 1B	Free Agent (B)	Pittsburgh		--
Sidney Ponson, SP	Free Agent	NY Yankees		--
Juan Rincon, RP	Signed	Cleveland		Detroit
Kenny Rogers, SP *	Free Agent	Detroit		--

*I read on the FOX transaction page that Kenny Rogers retired. That was awhile ago, and it's not there anymore. And all the other info I can find is rumor or speculation.

Yay! The Twins and Matt Guerrier avoided arbitration and settled on a 1-year deal. Avoiding arbitration is good. Congrats.
