Two new bats (and one old shitty one)

The Twins signed former Nebraska Cornhuskers and Kansas City Royals 1B/DH Ken Harvey (right) earlier this week, and are expected to finalize a deal for former Brewers, Mariners, Padres and Rockies 3b/1b Jeff Cirllo (left) later this week.
Harvey was actually an AL AllStar in 2003 when he got off to a hot start, but immediatley came plummeting back to Earth, with injuries limiting him to only a handful of games the last few years. He's no guarantee to make the team, and is completely useless in the field. However, he could be a decent option off the bench and as a DH vs. lefty pitching.
Cirillo, meanwhile, qualifies as a major addition, at least in Twins terms.
The 37-year old has a career .298 average and .368 OBP. He has 1,550 career hits.
Last year in 263 at-bats he hit .319 with 3 homers and 23 RBI.
From '96 to '01 he consistently contended for the NL batting title, posting seasons of .321, .325, .326 and .326 during that period. His OBP routinely hovered around .400, and while his 2000 numbers are surely skewed by playing at Coors Field, they're still impressive: .326, 11 homers, 115 RBI, 111 runs, 53 doubles, 195 hits.
He went to Seattle and tanked, apparently ending his career. From 2002 to 2004 he batted .249, .205 and .213. A return to Milwaukee apparently rejuvenated him however, as he hit .281 in '05, and .319 last year. In those two years, he batted .408 against lefties.
The Twins have always lacked for RH bats, so both of these additions make sense.
I'm not so high on Harvey, who I would say is a longshot to make the team (especially since the Twins intend on keeping Lew Ford - that's the shitty bat I was talking about in the headline).
But Cirillo makes sense on several levels. He's righthanded, kills lefty pitching, and can play third, first and second. The Twins didn't really have a backup for Morneau at first, and now they do, and they didn't have an insurance policy in case Nick Punto gets hurt sliding into first base or goes back to being Nick Punto. Now they do.
If nothing else, adding these two the expected re-signing of Rondell White gives the Twins some sudden depth, creating a nice competition for roster spots and at-bats in spring training.
