Article: If I Owned the Twins

[tobi0040]

You have a lot of confidence that Pinto, Vargas and Mauer will all be productive next year. And at the same time none of the three will really have that much trade value since Pinto and Vargas have questionable defensive value. What is wrong with depth?

 

Depth and redundancy are different things. In the case of Pinto, my belief is that the Twins have no intention of using him as a catcher and he looks to be the 3rd best hitter out of these three.  Also behind Sano and Arcia if they can't hold down 3B and LF.
