Thome's back

Jim Thome: 589 career
homers, 25 with
the Twins last season.

It's not often I read the free-agent market correctly, but my belief that there wouldn't be sufficient interest in Jim Thome for him to get a multi-year deal appears to have been correct.

One year, $3 million with playing time bonuses.

I'll do something more on this for Saturday.
