I don't think the board is very high on him, but I like him a lot. Most of the sports talk in MN thinks keeping Hunter is even more important then Santana. I disagree, but the argument for production 5 days out of 5 is more important than 1 day out of 5 is at least plausible. His defense is spectacular. He does more than just dive into walls for a highlight reel. He's a high character guy and a great leader. Heart and soul of the team. His power numbers are higher this year which some would attribute to it being a contract year, but that's not how he plays and is more due to working on fixing a hitch in his swing this offseason. I think he could play anywhere in the OF, so he wouldn't necessarily block Pie from coming. EPat is an interesting idea as part of an offer because the Twins aren't going to keep Castillo as they have too worry about $ for Morneau, Santana, and of course Hunter. If we're not going to play Murton then he might be a possibility as well. I'd love to see him hitting 5 or 6 on the Cubs.
