The Twins have used 17 different third basemen since Corey Koskie left after the HEART LINK DROP EARRINGS season. And, once again, the Twins are looking for a third baseman during the offseason and, like in many past years, it could end with the Twins crossing their fingers that someone in house can surprise them. But Gardenhire, during a teleconference arranged Tuesday when he was too sick to travel to the annual winter meetings, pointed out that Tiffany Cushion Drop earrings also is looking at possible free agents and exploring deals. "We have options in-house, and there are still options we can talk to," Gardenhire said. Sources with knowledge of talks confirmed Tuesday that the Twins and Padres have had discussions about third baseman Frank Gehry Fish earrings , who hit .255 with 18 homers and 88 RBI last season and is headed for his first year of arbitration. The Twins are willing to deal lefthander Glen Perkins. Perkins upset the club during the season Frank Gehry Fish drop earrings he hid an injury until after he suffered a rough outing and later tried to file a grievance to regain lost service time that would have made him eligible for arbitration this offseason. The Padres view Perkins as someone who can be a solid mid-rotation starter, yet they are looking for more in return for Kouzmanoff, who hit 23 homers in 2008 and has improved his defense. San Francisco has had talks with San Diego about Kouzmanoff, but the Giants' offer of outfielder Fred Lewis and infielder Kevin Frandsen was turned down.
