The Twins signed former Houston Astros third baseman Mike Lamb today to a two-year contract with an option for 2010. The terms were not disclosed.
Lamb, 32, batted .289 with 11 home runs and 40 RBI in 124 games for Houston last year. His career batting average is .281, career on-base percentage .339 and career slugging percentage is .427.

With Houston, he played both third base and first base. He was behind Morgan Ensberg at third base and often struggled to get regular playing time.
Twins assistant general manager Rob Antony said the team told Lamb he will get a chance to be the every day third baseman, noting, “We don’t like to give anything away.”

I think he is a career backup. He has failed everytime he was given regular time at a position. A great guy to come off the bench though. Every contending team needs a couple of those.
