    I think this is a very fair assessment of Sano's defense. From his shear size, nobody should expect more. A month, or so, ago Sano was put at 3B for the day and had to field a slow roller / bunt (don't really remember). Bare-handed the ball and made a really sweat throw to 1st. But it was right at him. More recently there was a well hit ball to his left and Sano stumbled and fell. IMO, Sano will never be a competent OF defensively. Mobility will be the issue, at least it is now. He will for sure get a few years at 3rd (are there better options after Plouffe is allowed to leave?) but in the end, Sano will most likely be a DH. And I really hate saying that about a guy who just turned 23.

    The "Nolasco Replay" continues. What will the ending be? My vote: Shoulder Weakness.

    From MLBTR: "He’ll hope to make a return to the Majors for the first time since 2014 under his new deal, as surgery to repair an elbow impingement in 2013 and Tommy John surgery in 2014 have slowed his career." Yeah, I got nothing.....

    Can't be. I would have been nothing but a smile on Dad's face.

    Buxton's being traded?

    You've hit on the 2 things I've also been concerned about: Injuries and BB/K. How can a kid 22yrs old suddenly have back spasms? I was 22 once, didn't happen to me. But I was in college, so I was probably a lot better hydrated. The lack of BB's all works into the whole pitch recognition / hitting mechanics thing. He's got a lot of athleticism, just gotta get the head into the rest of the game.

    Bob Seger and the Twins? In the same article? That is soooo not right....
  22. HitInAPinch
    I can't say this as a fact, but it at least seems like the Twins hang onto players well past their productive years or simply because they're hometown boys. "Sell High" is my motto.

    Reading through Matthew Trueblood's editorial, I couldn't decide how much he was serious or joking. I got down to the line "I think the Pohlads, who own the Twins, have been in Minnesota too long" and the rest of that paragraph was insulting Minnesota people. Carl Pohlad is dead. 2 of his sons are running the team. Recently, Jim Pohlad made a damning statement about the current status of the Twins system and management. And recently, he showed up on the field, something I don't remember Carl ever doing. Carl was at every home game, as a fan. I believe change is a real possibility this year and the timing is real simple: All Star Break.

    Shirley you must be joking.....
