I am not in-on Espinal.

His early numbers look like Ketel's but Ketel is 3" taller and you can't expect every guys that hits 1 or 2 in his 1st year or 2 to be a 30 HR hitter.
Yeah I don't get the allure at all. Just an average player that could turn into Frazier with us.

It's kind of weird that Corey Brock picked him for a trade proposal. There's literally nothing about him that would make you think he's about to break out. He's like Shed Long, basically.

Ok. So this is interesting. The Reds just traded SS Kyle Farmer to the Twins. The Twins have a loaded infield now - Farmer, Royce Lewis and Jorge Polanco - all of whom can play either SS and/or 2B.

Not only that but they have a boatload of SS and/or 2B prospects coming down the pike.

They don’t have a stud at 1B as far as I can tell, but they have Arraez there - likely because of his bad legs - instead of 2B.

I am wondering if this trade makes Arraez a little more expendable. Might the Twins be willing to move him? Might Arraez be a solid “get” for the M’s at 2B?

If Minnesota has Arraez at 1st because of his bad legs, what makes you think the M's would play him at 2nd?
