Dozier, Plouffe and Suzuki hot. Good or bad for the Twins?

So you think with Trevor Plouffe playing 3rd and hitting .251/.274/.382 they'll be able to sell those $8 beers and $10 hot dogs, but if Sano plays 3B and Kepler RF they'll have to lower the prices?

Sano and Kepler? They'll have to pay more for imported beer and sausages.

I think a reasonable expectation of return for Suzuki is a player that is using his last option. Maybe a guy like Kennys Vargas this year or Michael Tonkin last year. A guy like Alex Pressley when the Twins acquired him a few years ago for Morneau.

 

If the Twins demand a young player (particularly one that isn't even on the 40 yet), I go find a different back up catcher.

I didn't say anything about lowering prices.

 

I think TR and the average ticket buying fans think that veteran players will win more games, more wins mean more fanny's in the seats, meaning more $8 beers and $10 hot dogs sold.

The availability of Gourriel, Reyes and Infante into the 2B/3B market will decrease demand. Teams looking to move players at those positions might need to wait until those three find a team.
