I really don't feel good about Granite. A contact hitter with no power and no arm. He is going to hit into a lot of DPs. Can he ever leg out one hit with his so called elite speed?
I think Dereck Rodriguez, Kohl Stewart, Mason Melotakis will not be added to the 40-man roster, David Hurlbut though should be added due to his performance in AAA.
What makes you think Escobar cannot handle SS full time? Polanco has no power and no glove. He might be 4 years younger and has some upside. He could also turn out to be Danny Santana. It would be great to trade Polanco for Hand. I am not sure any team would want him though.
Escobar and Adrianza have been playing well both offensively and defensively, why would the Twins trade for another SS by giving up its top prospect? It would be nice to move Polanco for some more pitching.
It would be nice to move Gimenez and Polanco when Buxton returns. The Twins could call up Garver and Vargas to complete the bench.
Vargas, Garver, Granite and Adrianza would make a good bench. Power and speed!
