Twins Daily 2022 Top Prospects: #1 Austin Martin

[Connor Gould]

I'm dreaming of Martin slashing .300/.400/.450 and being an elite leadoff or #2 guy and either playing average defense at a hard spot or plus defense at a bat first spot. Meanwhile Lewis I dream of a .260/.330/.515 guy sticking at SS. I'm excited for these dudes, obviously I threw out high end numbers that aren't likely, but it's fun to hope for it.

I think he's our 2 hole hitting, gold glove LF for a long time.  The Berrios move stings right now, but I think this guy is a stud.

I feel the need to be less polite than I normally am in regard to Martin.

Can we just let the kid play a little ball before we dismiss his ability or promote him to All Star status?

I mean... it's a little ironic you talk about just letting him play and then writing several paragraphs lavishing praise and accolades upon him before coming to the conclusion he's a future stud.

Less polite is OK so long as posters stay in the polite zone.
