I agree with you on Sano playing third. Earlier this year, Sano ran in on a slow roller and made a one-legged throw to 1st. If Sano's legs are do dainty, I would think that play would be a real hammy shredder. 1st/DH would seen like better alternatives. Mauer's contract is good through 2018, Park has an option year in 2020. And I don't have a problem trading Plouffe, either. Or practically anyone else. I think if Sano is comfortable at 3rd, OK. He's not going to be a great defensive guy. Offensively, big potential.
