Review the Debuts: Twins Rookie Position Players

[MTV]

Miranda should be looked at as a cog in the middle of the Twins lineup, Wallner and Lewis have that potential but should start in AAA as depth, and Contreras, Hamilton, and Palacios shouldn’t be depth but depth FOR the depth, as in 4th catcher, 7th outfielder and 7th infielder. Respectfully, I don’t want to see any of them at the majors for more than 10-20 games unless they can prove there’s more in them than 4A players.

Do you have any evidence more CF get hurt than other positions?

Buxton.  He's never been injured playing any other position on the field.

Anecdotal evidence isn’t really evidence, you know ?

That's, um, half the joke, yeah.

Just emphasizing it ?

Interesting to note that this was pretty much it in the minor league pipeline. Otherwise, it was grizzled old AAA guys: Beckham, Cave, Garlick, Hamilton, Soto (who never got an at bat, shades of Maggi), Godoy, Leon. The Saints roster was pretty much all minor league free agents at one point, on the offensive side.
