Eight days for Pagan to pitch his way off the Opening Day roster. I'd much prefer to take a chance on a non-roster invitee.

I'd prefer to take a chance on a gas station burrito.

I'm sure you are right about Farmer or Solano taking that 2B spot to begin the season.

I know many fans (myself included) are really hoping for Julien to be given the 2B Opening Day spot (just think of the great video they could take of telling him that he's starting on Opening Day!), but that's not usually how the Twins role. They'd rather have him take care of business at AAA for a month before bringing him up.

I am personally not at all sold on Solano, and he looks entirely lost at the plate, which shouldn't be the case for someone of his career stat line. Makes me wonder if there is an injury at play that isn't being disclosed.

They just need to do what they need to do for Polanco. When he's playing and healthy he's a game changing presence on the field. It's a shame that he's been so plagued by injuries throughout his career.

You said***It's a shame that he's been so plagued by injuries throughout his career., wasent last years injury the 1st time in his career on the D.L. ?

Saw him pitch twice this spring. Doesn't look like anything has changed, he was throwing meat at the plate. Wish he was someone else's problem

It had maybe been his first time actually on the DL, but he’s had seasons where he’s essentially playing on one leg, multiple times.
