MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins added some utilty infield depth Monday by claiming veteran Augie Ojeda off waivers from the Cubs.
The 28-year-old Ojeda -- who can can play third base, shortstop and second base -- was added to Minnesota's 40-man roster. To make room, right-handed pitcher Jonathan Pridie was designated for assignment.

Ojeda has played in parts of four Major League seasons, all with the Cubs. A lifetime .196 hitter, he batted .120 in 12 games with Chicago in 2003 after spending most of the season in the minors.

Pridie was an 11th-round pick by Minnesota in the 1998 draft. He was 6-9 with a 5.19 ERA in 27 games at Double-A New Britain.

Not a great hitter....but one of the scrappiest infielders you will ever see.....and a Cubbie favorite.....

Hate the Cubbies lost him.....

Good point.

Of all the infielders that we got this offseason he is my favorite, he should be good. Now we just need another pitcher, I sure do wish we would have taken Prior...
