I think the Twins will make Torii a very competitive offer, but some team will just offer him a ridiculous amount and he'll play for someone else next year. Now if I were to speculate on which team that would be, all just phrase it like this: "I know Coco Crisp won't be the starting Center Fielder in Boston next year... I'm not saying Torii goes there. I'm just saying Coco Crisp won't be"

As a life-long Twins (Wash Senator) fan, I share your pain...we just can't match the offers he will no doubt get! He's no Ichiro but his defense alone will get him top dollar...and he's having a great year at the plate!
