Twins Roster Projection 2017: Version 2.0
Det95Twins replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
I don't see May getting the 5th starter position. Berrios will start the season in AAA but will come up quickly. He should be groomed to be a closer. I think it ironic to call Adrianza a 13th hitter as he's never hit anywhere. I'd keep Santana over Grossman because of his ability to play multiple positions and speed. I think the Cleveland Connection will go with Gimenez over Garver. I'd prefer to have Escobar at SS--at least he's adequate. Polanco is an awful SS and can fill in for Dozier at 2B a few times a month. It's time to put the most competitive team on the field and, for me, that means sitting Mauer. A .270/10/65 guy with average defense has less upside than Park or Vargas, both of whom could hit 30-40 HRs and drive in more runs. I'd go with a lineup of 1. Buxton CF, 2. Escobar SS, 3. Dozier 2B, 4. Sano 3B, 5. Park 1B, 6. Vargas DH, 7. Kepler RF, 8. Castro/Gimenez C and 9. Rosario LF. SP are Santana, Hughes, Santiago and Gibson with Berrios called up early when a 5th starter is needed.
