March Mailbag Call

[Nick Nelson]

Hey folks. We're going to run another mailbag column this week as we gear up to dive into full-on spring training coverage. What questions/topics are on your mind as camp gets underway?

[Mike Frasier Law]

Let's pretend Nolasco bounces back, Santana pitches reasonably well, Gibson and Hughes do what they did last year. And let's say Meyer, May, and Milone all demonstrate they need to be in a major league rotation. Do the Twins make a trade this summer? If so, who goes?

[stringer bell]

Danny Santana has been a shortstop throughout his career until (out of necessity) he played mostly center field last year. Where does Danny's defense stand as a shortstop? Watching him for a week in last year's spring training, it appeared to these untrained eyes that Santana had the tools necessary to be a good defensive shortstop, but lacked the focus and consistency to even by acceptable.

What is the status of Sano's elbow? Is he throwing?

Now that the players are there in person, what are the biggest surprises in terms of visible differences?
