He was not going to make the team, but one of our top prospects has TJ. How common is it for position players to have this?

Twins first-round pick Alex Kirilloff out for season, needs Tommy John surgery

Too bad...I like Kiriloff a lot. Terrific hitter with huge power upside. He's a very good fielding 1Bman, but only average in the OF.

I think it's rare for a position player to have TJ. Sano of course did 2-3 years ago.

I thought he was an outfielder but I honestly had to look him up when I saw the tweet about him having surgery. It's really too bad for young guys to have that type of set back. Hopefully he will come back healthy and do well.

It is quiet on Twins Spring Training front. Anyone heard how the battle for backup catcher is going?

It's pretty early to get much of a sense of anything at this point.

Not current Twins news, but former Twin Alex Meyer. How bad would it be if the Halos unclock
Meyer's potential?
