Twins signed 1B Jeff Clement to a minor league contract.
Clement hasn't been a prospect for a while, but he did have a pretty nice year at Triple-A with the Pirates in 2012, batting .276/.340/.486 line with 16 homers and 57 RBI. He's merely organizational depth. Mon, Nov 26, 2012 11:15:00 AM

Jeff Clement - 1B - Twins

Jeff Clement has elected free agency.

The third overall pick in the 2005 amateur draft, Clement has completely fallen off the prospect map. Still, he posted a .276/.340/.486 line with 16 homers and 57 RBI for Triple-A Indianapolis, and should have no problems finding another team willing to give him a shot.

Jeff Clement - 1B - Twins

Pirates designated 1B Jeff Clement for assignment.

Clement got the boot Thursday as the club added right-hander Chad Beck and catcher Ali Solis to the 40-man roster. The former top prospect batted .136 (3-for-22) with one double and one RBI in 23 games with the Pirates this year.

Jeff Clement - 1B - Twins

Pirates purchased the contract of 1B Jeff Clement from High-A Bradenton.

Clement hasn't recorded a hit at the major league level since the 2010 season and is doubtful to get regular playing time down the stretch in Pittsburgh. The former top prospect will carry zero fantasy value.

Jeff Clement - 1B - Twins

Pirates recalled 1B Jeff Clement from Triple-A Indianapolis.

It will be the former top prospect's first stint on an active roster since 2010. Clement was in the midst of a serviceable campaign for Indy, hitting .276/.340/.486 to go along with 53 extra-base hits and 57 RBI through 459 plate appearances. In for a small role, he's not worth a look in NL-only leagues for the time being.

Jeff Clement - 1B - Twins

Pirates sent 1B Jeff Clement outright to Triple-A Indianapolis.

Clement opened the 2010 season as the Pirates' primary starting first baseman, but he was putrid offensively and the Bucs gave up on that plan quickly. The 27-year-old is currently recovering from left knee surgery.

Jeff Clement - 1B - Twins

Jeff Clement underwent successful left knee surgery Wednesday.

Clement is expected to need six months of recovery time, meaning he might not be ready when spring training opens but should be close to 100 percent by Opening Day. The 27-year-old catcher-turned-first-baseman posted a .201/.237/.368 batting line and seven homers over 144 at-bats in 2010.

Jeff Clement is scheduled to undergo left knee surgery next Wednesday.

Clement was placed on the disabled list with left knee irritation last month, however a recent exam found a microfracture. We won't know about a timetable for his return until after the procedure takes place. Clement, now 27, batted .201/.237/.368 with seven home runs and 12 RBI over 144 at-bats this season.

Jeff Clement (oblique) has been shut down for the season.

Jeff Clement - 1B - Twins

Jeff Clement suffered a strained oblique while on his rehab assignment for Triple-A Indianapolis and probably won't play again this season.

Clement was on the DL with a sore left knee. The Pirates probably weren't going to have a major role for him this month anyway, but it's disappointing that he won't get any sort of look. It'd be no surprise to see him given away this winter.
