  1. It's a mistake to screw around with Sano's future just to keep an average 3B like Plouffe at his position. Sano's future has to be at 3b with Mauer and Park manning first and in the short term whatever defensive struggles he has will be even worse in RF. To get his full value as a player he has to succeed at 3B. Plus it is more than likely that Sano's struggles in RF will affect his offense as well. Don't screw up a future star to protect an average 3B. I like Plouffe but Sano is far more important to the future of the franchise.
  2. This is off topic but is there any insight into why the Twins didn't put Plouffe in RF instead of Sano? I know he's the better 3B defensively but he'd also be the better RF defensively and they seem to be (1) screwing around with their best offensive player by putting him the field where his problems defensively may spill over to his offense; and (2) screwing up Sano's future where he for sure won't be a RF long-term and now he's also not a 3B. I thought Ortiz comments on Sano playing RF made a lot of sense. I just don't see this being a successful experiment, and then what do they do with him defensively especially with Park in the mix? Riding out his defense at 3B and hoping he develops there seems like the much smarter long-term move.
