"Crede Sought Twins"
Chicago Tribune reporter Mark Gonzales wrote in his blog yesterday that Joe Crede had a desire to become a Minnesota Twin last season while he sensed that the White Sox would not extend an offer his way.
“This is definitely a team that I wanted to be a part of," Crede said Sunday at a news conference. "Chicago didn’t express their interest, so coming over here was definitely a team that I really admired the way they play. I knew my style was going to fit in with this team. They’ve got a great group of guys here. They’re going to put a competitive team on the field, and as a player that’s all you can ask for, a chance to get to the postseason, and this team has got a very realistic shot at doing that.”
These comments coming from Crede make me feel even better about this acquisition. Not only is he an All-Star 3B but he wants to be a part of a classy tight knit organization. Potentially shows you a little bit of who Crede is as a person. One thing is for sure...The signing of Crede has Twins fans and players in an uproar. The fact that the best option on the market landed in MN is something that we are not used to here.
