Crede to the Twins

The Chicago Tribune reports that Joe Crede signed with the Minnesota Twins:

Crede, 30, agreed to terms Friday night with the Minnesota Twins, according to a major league source.

Crede, who provided stellar defense and was a clutch hitter during his tenure with the Sox, signed late in free agency because he was recovering from the latest in a series of back ailments. According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, it appeared Crede was willing to sign for less than the $7 million base it was believed he was seeking, but no details were available about the contract.

The Twins were near the bottom of range at third base in 2008, so a healthy Crede should improve their defense. He might even add a bit of power.
