And as Ponson approaches what he deems to be a very important spring for him, it's clear that clubhouse chemistry was one of the reasons that he chose to sign a Minor League deal with the Twins. Ponson said he entertained offers from other clubs, such as the Cubs, but in the end he went with the organization where he felt most comfortable.

It must not have been a ML offer. Thankfully, he turned it down!

Even if he would have signed would it really have mattered so long as it was a minor league deal.

[Mephistopheles]

i would have preferred him to marquis just because cutting him would be cheaper

I don't know. You'd have to factor in larger club house spreads into the budget.

In a not-so-distant alternate universe, Hendry succeeded in signing them both.

Q: What do Sean Marshall, Angel Guzman, Carlos Marmol, and Wade Miller all have in common?

 

 

 

A: All are considered upgrades over Sidney Ponson. And sad to say for Minnesota, but Ponson wasn't their WORST move, it was acquiring Ramon Ortiz.
