Ya, I really should have just said 2B in that post. I have no idea if Severino is good or bad at 2B, I guess I could look (but he can't be as bad as Julien).
Agreed. Lee is your 3B of the future, if Lewis can move to CF. I had hoped we'd get Lewis in CF this year, but that looks unlikely at this point. It's too bad, because it looks like Buxton isn't going back there any time soon.
Salas or Severino are also possibilities at SS or 2B, in addition to Julien (no way I'd play him in the field if I could avoid it).
Ah, got it.
Ya, the game is littered with these kinds of stories, players that have a bit of luck....players that multiple teams move on from, but then have success (even long term). Players that aren't the center piece of a trade, but that turn out great.
Alcala has been hurt. No idea how that's on the FO. Celestino was rushed because of other failures and every OF being hurt last year, and is injured. I'd partially count them wrong there.
No idea why Lewis had to be in the infield. I don't get the handling of Martin at all. I'd guess Lewis at third or CF, Lee at third or second, Severino at third or second, Miranda at third or first..... Julien at first or DH.

What are the chances the Big 5 draft prospects are not the first 5 taken?

I think there's a 95% chance that the top 4 picks come from the Big 5. The Twins are the wild card for me.

Happy big birthday! With Joulien sent down today because of Polanco’s place on the Twins’ depth chart, do you think his bat and on-base skills will ultimately translate from MiLB to MLB?

I think he has a long career but is only a sometime regular.
