Koskie - We're Better Off

An ESPN.com insider report says that a Koskie for Morneau deal could happen.
This is the stupidest thing I've ever read.
It is also an example of bad journalism, (not so much by ESPN, because they simply swiped it off the Toronto Sun newspaper) but by the Toronto paper for not bothering to find out that Terry Ryan has ZERO interest in re-acquiring everyones favorite Candian 3B.
Koskie was let go by the Twins because he couldn't stay healthy, and this year for Toronto, he didn't stay healthy. The Jays have an up and coming 3B in Aaron Hill, and suddenly Koskie has gone from their big free-agent signing to an albatross contract that they're desperate to rid themselves of.
I'm sure the Jays would LOVE to get Morneau in exchange for the Twins taking Koskie and his contract, but that'd never happen, no matter how dissapointing Morneau was this year.
Koskie was a fan favorite, and fans clamored all year for the team to make an effort to get him back after Cuddyer fizzled out at third.
But Koskie, for all the money he makes, is a terrible risk for any small to mid market team. You simply have no guarantee youre going to get more than 300 at bats for all that money.
Even if the Twins could get him back for JC Romero or Kyle Lohse I doubt it would happen, because the Twins have to spend their money smarter than that.
As I've said before, I think there's a good chance that Bill Mueller is the Twins 3B next year, with Cuddyer moving to 2nd.
*P.S. - The Twins officially parted ways with Luis Rivas and Mike Ryan on Tuesday.
They also released Brent Abernathy, but expressed interest in bringing him back.
I like Abernathy, and Mike Ryan. Come to think of it, I used to really like Rivas, too.
But Luis' time was more than up, and Ryan is a 4th outfielder.
Hopefully, their release of Ryan is a sign that the team plans on making Lew Ford their 4th OF next year. If Lew was gonna be a starter they'd probly keep Ryan around as a potential backup.
