Berardino on Twins Minor leaguers

[Seth Stohs]

Mike Berardino shared many thoughts from Twins Minor League Director Brad Steil. 

 

He talked about Lewis Thorpe, Jorge Polanco, Niko Goodrum, Travis Harrison, Eddie Rosario, Wilkin Ramirez and more in this article. Lots of really good nuggets.

Good to hear the update on Thorpe. Getting more optimistic the arm issue won't be serious!

When I initially read the blurb, I liked that Rosario moved closer to the Ft. Myers complex, I thought that sounded pretty professional.  But of course Miami isn't all that close to Ft. Myers; it is however, close to South Beach.  I'm sure it's nothing, but I'd buy into a "renewed" commitment a lot more if he had moved next door to all the retirees on the Gulf side of the state instead of the co-eds. 

 

Niko Goodrum to the OF now?  Boy, his bat doesn't play at 3B let alone a corner OF spot.  Heck in today's MLB it doesn't play at 2B.  Kind of looks like they're pushing him to spots simply to make room for others at this point.

I get the Rosario/ south beach concerns, but it's obvious Rosario needs to be farther from his old familiar influence and routines; making changes away from that should be seen as a positive. Besides how often will he see his house while he playing CF in Minnesota starting in April. ;-)
