Correa didn’t score because he wasn’t advancing on a ground ball hit in front of him. However, in the same inning, he did not tag when Yelich made the diving catch. It is a moot point because Garlick ran into an out on the same play.
There is only one week until the trade deadline. Not much time for Miggy to turn heads. It would appear this will be his last run with the Twins. Let’s hope he has some big hits left for the stretch run.
Arraez is okay at 3B IMHO and depending on what happens with Urshela (non-tender or trade) and Miranda (trade candidate at the deadline)he might get a lot of time there next year. Having guys who are serviceable at several positions is nice. Finding guys who are good to great fielders at key positions (Correa, Buxton) is even better.
I’m voting for Kirilloff. He looks to be a .300 hitter since his return from the minors. I’m a little worried that he won’t hit for much power this year.
I would say Enlow and Henriquez would still be considered prospects with higher ceilings and would stay on the 40-man in 2023 a la Vallimont. I’m not sure either Contreras or Strotman make it through 2022 on the 40-man roster.
Luis Arraez is a heavy favorite to win the batting title. Who do you think will finish second on the team? I moved the PA requirement to 300 so there is more competition.
