Twins Considering Sending Chris Colabello To KBO
The Twins could send 1B/OF Chris Colabello (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/colabch01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com) to play in Korea, Mike Berardi** of the Pioneer Press **tes (http://blogs.twincities.com/twins/2013/12/20/twinsights-could-chris-colabello-be-headed-to-korea/) (citing a Korean news report (http://sports.news.naver.com/sports/index.nhn?category=baseball&ctg=news&mod=read&******_id=109&article_id=0002679898)). The Twins are reportedly in discussions with the LG Twins (and that's **t a typo) to transfer Colabello's contract, which could net them up to $1MM. Such a move would free a 40-man roster space for the (Minnesota) Twins, who need one to accomodate the impending signing of catcher Kurt Suzuki (http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/s/suzukku01.shtml?utm_campaign=Linker&utm_source=direct&utm_medium=linker-www.typepad.com). The Twins could only send Colabello abroad with his permission.
Colabello, 30, hit .194/.287/.344 in 181 plate appearances in his big-league debut in 2013, but he also hit 24 home runs in Triple-A, posting a .352/.427/.639 line in 391 plate appearances there. Colabello has a total of 50 home runs between the mi**rs and the Majors since the Twins signed him out of independent ball prior to the 2012 season.
