Twins Spring Training 2021

Post by bleedspeed »

I figured I would start this thread now that we are about to start. I was lucky to catch one games last year when I was in Tampa for Spring Break. I think it was the second to last game of the year. This year it sounds like they have already sold out ST.

What are you guys looking for in ST?

How much Luis Arraez plays left field. I have sneak suspicion they might try to play him there for the month. Like or not there going to keep Kirilloff in triple A for service time reasons.

That is the Twins way.

Any thoughts on Buxton?

Don't really care about buxton bat. His job is to stay healthy and play best defense in centerfield since Ken Griffey Jr. Anything they get offensively from him is just a bonus.

You beat me to it, jester, you dirty dog. My only add would be that I really do think Luis Arraez will be moved around a lot this season. He can theoretically play left field, third base, second base, and maybe even first base occasionally.

So during that first month where Alex Kiriloff might not be with the big league team I think we'll see a steady diet of Jake Cave too as they'll want to utilize Arraez around the field to spell other guys.

There could also be a guy that isn't on the 40 man roster that gets hot for the first few weeks of the season before falling off.

My theory is they signed Broxton in hopes that if Buxton got hurt some very casual fans wouldn't even figure out there was a different guy out there. Lol It does sound like at one point Broxtom was very good defensively in CF and he had a year where I think I was with Milwaukee his bonus bat was a nice addition.

Would you trade Garver?
