I'd imagine the market wasn't very hot for Suzuki. This seems like a good player to hold. I liked hearing from Anderson that Suzuki is very comitted to film study and helps the pitchers understand the matchups better. And at 2 yrs 12 million it's not the end of the world if it turns out to be a bust. The roster has been very cheap for the Pohlad's recently, they can afford a mistake here.
