After sitting idle for more than four months following a season in which they lost to the White Sox in a one-game playoff for the AL Central title, the Twins agreed to terms with free-agent third baseman Joe Crede on a one-year deal on Saturday.
Provided Crede's back holds up, he will fill a major need for the Twins as a power-hitting third baseman who also has a great glove. The team scheduled a news conference for later Saturday.

Crede is not the answer ...but the Twins did not hit a lot of homers last year...so he can't hurt much.

Saying Crede is a power hitter is a stretch these days. He hit 17 homeruns in 2008. He played 97 games last season however, so it is possible he hits more. I have doubts however that he will hit 20+.
