Since no one has suggested this, I presume this is a bad idea. But, when I look at his height, weight, comparative lack of speed (though much better than mine), and strong throwing arm, I think of a catcher.
"I don't completely disagree with your statement about not investing not being a great choice."
This gives me something to think about while shoveling.
I don't understand these "Table Setter" daily updates.
Seems like a constant reminder that the Twins role at the table is leftovers only, and not until everyone else has signed and/or traded for the players they want..
Apparently the Twins are crumulent

The ‘67 team probably should be in the top 10…even if it would knock out one of the division-winning clubs.
No divisions in 1967. 2nd place in the American League. And actually won the season series against Boston 11-7. But, 2 of those 7 losses were the difference in the season-ending series at Fenway.
4 Hall-of Famers…5 guys in the top 20 for MVP. Cesar Tovar credited with appearing in 163 games…at least 6 games played at 6 different positions.
Oh…and the first year I attended a Twins game. (Not that that factors into my ranking whatsoever 😉)
I seem to recall Killebrew saying that he thought the 1967 team was the best he played on.
Doc:
"I am NOT saying anyone on the Twins will be as good as him, but, there are some guys like Lewis and Kirilloff that have a chance to be regular, heart of the order type of hitters with 22-35HR power to go along with solid AVG and OB ability. (Wallner to a degree as well maybe??) And they are all younger and more cost controlled."
