Article: That’s Offensive: Did Morrison’s Signing Fix Minnesota’s Biggest Flaw?

[Platoon]

"That's Offensive"! The teams biggest flaw was not offensive. They of course could have used a left handed power bat, but that's not anywhere near the top of the list. They did tweak the BP IMHO in a positive manner. While there was a little movement the starting rotation, much of it is negated by the loss of Santana. I do think if there is any significant improvement it will come from a youngster in the orginisation surprising us. As for position players, most of the flaws there are liveable, maybe even picky. Sanos situation really is non solvable since it's not been decided. Good catching is very hard to find, and the Twins haven't. And the middle IF defense is pretty mediocre. While one cannot fix all things on any team, one can prioritize them. And in the case of this team their temporary patches to the SP look frankly temporary.

Still would like to see one more righthanded bat. With the current rules wonder how many times the Twins will see a lefty starter from AAA to face them.

If teams want to bring up a minor league pitcher when we face them, I'll be ecstatic. They still have to face Sano, Dozier and Buxton.
