HEY GUYS THIS IS JI

 

JIM THOME

 

and with that out of the way, the obvious question: do they really feel he can play 1B even a little bit as Howard recovers? The Twins were missing Morneau most of the season and certainly didn't view Thome as a first base option. What's he going to do with an NL team?

Get paid a lot of money to be a good influence in the clubhouse?

I'm pretty sure he's bff's with charlie manuel. oh, and thome hasn't played first on a regular basis since 2004, no way is he going to start again now.

[OleMissCub]

I'd imagine his role will be pretty much identical to Giambi's right now in Denver.

Everyone needs a DH I guess.

Or as Earl Weaver said, Jim Thome is the type "that can sit on his ass for eight innings and enjoy watching the baseball game just like any other fan and then have the ability to get up there and break one open in the [expletive] ninth"
