I've never seen Bates play, but I think its safe to assume if he could catch at a Major league level, he would certainly be playing there.

I agree with most of the responses, and think a guy like Carroll is a huge obp improvement over previous 2 hole hitters in this lineup. I think the main concern is, the defense isn't that good anymore, and the pitching staff is pitch to contact. The team is going to need to score more runs than maybe the '08 version did.

The lineup that most people expect to start the season (and Gardenhire has even hinted at) includes the following players: Jamey Carroll Alexi Casilla Joe Mauer Denard Span Ben Revere Is it a bit concerning to anyone else that more than half the lineup will not hit the ball out of the ballpark (I do think Mauer will hit 10 or so)? I dont know what the market would be for Span coming off his injuries, and don't endorse trading him for a relief pitcher, but is having a lineup with such little power really viable? If Plouffe looks ready to hit and play right field, do you look into moving Span or Revere? Do you wait for the inevitable Casilla injury and hope Hughes can provide a little pop at 2B?
