Also, I don't think the Twins would be satisfied with rushing Polanco to be a utility guy. If all goes well, in 2015 he will be in double A looking forward to his first real look in spring training in 2016. With Danny Santana I'm more worried about his strike zone control. He's not going to hit .290 in the majors with that little power and those strikeout/walk rates. Often, a shaky glove works its way out in ways a bad eye at the plate doesn't.

Plouffe is a bad third baseman. To be versitile, don't you have to have some competency at various positions? Plouffe's versitility is more of a mirage than anything. That they have shifted him around is as much a result of his inadequacies as it has been for the needs of a roster with perrenially thin infield depth.
