Twins Prospect Spotlight: Luis Arraez

Congrats, Luis! Hope you do well in the show. Who knows, maybe you’ll find a way to stick.

Maybe instead of Tortugito, he should be El Conejo.

If I'm not mistaken, Schoop signed a one year deal.  Arraez has raked the ball at every level, hope he's able to make the most of this opportunity and have the inside track for 2B in the Twins future.

Mah boy!!! Arraez arrived. I’d love to see him hit for days. Like I mentioned a while back, the great problem we’d possibly have is the log jam of infielders now and in the near future. Everybody do great. Trade the right guys when stock is high and get some pitching.

Arraez just plain hit all spring. I figured he'd have a chance up here with injuries.

I really like what Schoop has been doing for the Twins.  If it continues, I would like to see the Twins extend him.  Expect the problem is going to be that he will want a longer term deal than the Twins will want to do.

Meanwhile, this is a great week for all of us to see what Arraez can do, which is get hits and get on base.  Hopefully, that will continue into the big leagues and he will confirm he is their next option at second base.  Can't wait to see him in a game, unfortunately, it probably won't come until Monday in Anaheim.

Looks like a great player, but the Twins shouldn't take the plunge on him 2020. Resign Schoop (if he doesn't absolutely suck from now until the end of the year) and have Luis next year fill Adrianza's role.

How was he acquired?

Much of his game and personality reminds me of former Twins 2nd baseman Luis Castillo.

I can't help but wonder if he's being showcased as a trade chip. It seems like it would be silly to not try and extend Schoop at this point. I would aim for a 2 year extension, with money retroactive for his performance this season, so it ends up being like a 3 year situation overall. 

Otherwise, 2 with a team option. Sorry- back to Arraez.

Accounts were that the Twins tried for a second year when they signed him, but he preferred to test free agency after a year. I don't think he's open to an extension, but the Twins could still try to re-sign him in free agency.

Thanks for the insight!
