Nov 6 Hardy has been traded to the Twins for Carlos Gomez, the Brewer's official web site reports.

Recommendation: Hardy should take over at shortstop for Minnesota, although there's a chance he could be moved to third base if Orlando Cabrera is re-signed. Still, this likely means the Twins won't re-sign Cabrera. This has been a much rumored deal and it's odd the Twins didn't have to include pitching prospects to obtain him.

Nov 6 The Twins have acquired Hardy from the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for outfielder Carlos Gomez. The move, announced Friday, relieves a crowded outfield for the Twins, who also have Delmon Young, Denard Span and Michael Cuddyer.

Advice: The 27-year-old Hardy batted .229 with 11 home runs and 47 RBI in 115 games for the Brewers in 2009. A 2007 All-Star, he is just the third shortstop in Brewers' history to hit more than 20 home runs in a season twice (Robin Yount and Jose Hernandez).
