  1. Good article first of all! I'd agree with FanGraphs projection with Arcia Leading the trio but I expect a better war than that even. I could see a 2.5 war with his numbers improving. I see him hitting in the .270s this year and between 25-30 home runs. Santana's war will be hurt when he plays SS I believe. I'm just hoping he can be CLOSE to the level he played last year, I'd be happy with a .740 OPS with more SBs though. I agree with the guy above^^ saying Pinto could have a good year. Better than Vargas, perhaps. We'll see how it plays out. Pinto/Vargas May be a good trade chip along with Plouffe/Dozier. Pinto being 26 might be behind Stuart turner on the depth chart at this time next year. I doubt that but a college catcher in AA already, he could make the jump by September.
  2. the "breaking ball" theory doesn't hit prospects like sano... He can hit anything, that's why he's top 5 prospect in the game
  3. extending dozier would be more expensive than this. I bet he gets 5/42.5 wit 1 option for 12.. Don't extend is my decision
  4. highly, highly disagree with dozier/hicks spots. Dozier has good OBP, can steal, and drive in runs. Hicks does none of that. Maybe OBP is ok.
  5. . I def don't see Mauer batting one spot ahead of Arica but his high OBP could create a lot more runs if he is right ahead of the power hitting Arcia but I'd swap Vargas and plouffe as of now.
  6. Saying there's no unexpected ST injuries or Hicks type bursts my opening day line up is this: 1: Santana, CF 2: Dozier, 2B 3: Hunter, RF 4: Vargas, DH 5: Arcia, LF 6: Mauer, 1B 7: Plouffe, 3B 8: Suzuki, C 9: Escobar, SS With bench of Pinto Hicks Nunez Schaefer Only other switch is if they want Santana short and hicks 9th in CF
  7. Honestly I'd rather see the twins rush a guy like max Kepler up before putting Aaron hicks back out there. Kepler could put up better offensive numbers even with only being 22. As for mauer I can't wait for that contract to end so he can either go or sign a 12 million dollar annual salary. I'm sorry for a guy like Hamburger but if I'm the Twins, unless he's killing all MLB hitters in ST he doesn't have a shot.. And as for Sano I hope he starts in AAA he has beaten AA pitching already and if he does start there, a 2-3 week warm up should be it. But after a active ST he should be AAA ready.
  8. You could have said same thing with torii hunter at age 23. Except Arcia's offensive numbers still better
  9. I'd like to believe that he could come back for last 7-10 games and be fine for ST but I wouldn't wanna risk it for the 23 year old. He already has a 20 home run season and he's still 23. So I'd let him progress with the season, no need for 7 winter league games
