The Twins make the most sense

Looking at possible trade partners for the Reds, it seems obvious to me that the best matchup is Minnesota. Consider:

Twins are woefully short in starting pitching.

Twins lack a SS.

Twins have a RH power hitting LF who hit 4th last year and went 35 HR and 100+ RBI in a pitchers park who is signed to a reasonable 2-year deal -- Willingham.

Twins have a surplus of leadoff-hitting OF talent -- Span, Revere, Hicks (still in upper minors, but coming along nicely).

If I'm betting, I say Jocketty and Terry Ryan get something done.
