Unfortunately, he didn't play an inning at short to start the 2016 season. Before being called up in July to take over the Twins shortstop role, he started 64 games at second base and two games at third base.

His offensive numbers also took a dip after a tremendous rookie campaign. Sano will start this season as the team's Opening Day third baseman. As a prospect, there were questions about his defensive skills...5362Fri, 17 Feb 2017 03:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/reliever-arbitration-salaries-on-the-rise-r5364/We already know teams will delay calling up prospects in an effort to gain an extra year of team of control/delay a player's arbitration eligibility, but should they also make an effort to keep players affordable in their arbitration seasons? Are they already doing this?

It sold only 87 copies, but that was about $800 more than we had ever made before. Plus, it was so much fun to write that we followed it up with the Offseason Handbook, which sold even better.

That feeling is never stronger for a team than when pitchers and catchers report. The latter took place on February 13th for the Twin Cities nine. While those who make up the pitchers and catchers are particularly exciting, unless you're a...5355Tue, 14 Feb 2017 03:05:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/td-top-prospects-10-lewin-diaz-r5352/Age: 20 (DOB: 11/19/96) 2015 Stats (Rk): 46 G, .310/.353/.575, 9 HR, 37 RBI ETA: 2019 2016 Ranking: 18 National Top 100 Rankings BA: NR | MLB: NR | ESPN: NR | BP: NR What’s To Like With the exception of Daniel Palka (our 14th-highest rated prospect in the system), Diaz represents the only source...5352Mon, 13 Feb 2017 05:09:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/camp-opens-twins-news-rundown-r5351/* Byung Ho Park passed through waivers so he will be among the non-roster invites in camp. Ostensibly he'll be competing with Kennys Vargas and others for the DH job, but it would seem that Park will have a tough hill to climb.
