Postulating for the sake of postulating: 2013-2014 offseason
Reider replied to the_youngster's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I would like to see the Twins sign 2 quality starting pitchers. -
Jamie Carroll is one of those players who plays the game the right way and is good with the young guys. I very much respect him and appreciate being able to watch all of his clutch plays (and effort on all of the plays that he wasn't able to complete) as a Twin even if he didn't live up to some fans' expectations. Unfortunately the Twins are rebuilding and it's time to make room for the future. I wish Carroll all the best in KC.

As a fellow SS, when I saw Florimon last year, he was green, but I saw the potential he had. Defensively, Florimon has been nothing short of outstanding this year. I absolutely love watching this guy play the position. He has great range and a strong arm. He also has good speed and seems to have a good baseball IQ. If you consider the fact that he's had some clutch hits this year, including a few home runs, we honestly can't ask much more from him in his first year as a full time SS. Time will tell how things go in the future, but considering he has shown a lot of improvement in such a short period of time, there's absolutely no doubt in my mind that he is the starting SS in 2014 and we'll go from there. Also, I must say Dozier has been a pleasant surprise this year, especially over the last few weeks. He's been solid in the field and has obviously been getting it done at the plate with some big hits. It will be interesting to see how things go for him in the future, but right now I am definitely appreciating his effort.
