Craig Plummer Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 What a bunch of malarky...Apparently it will be Brenden harris at 2nd and Nick Punto at SS.What do you guys think about that? I kinda liked that Casilla Kid thought he had lotsa upside and good defensive skills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IFallsRon Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 He would have had to overachieved this spring to have a shot. Another year at Rochester will make a big difference in his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jigging-matt Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I thought it was going to be everett at SS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahitman44 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I guess he was trying to be too fancy and he needs some more time a AAAI think we could have some seriously good speed -- gomez and castilla on the top -- that would fun fun to see.

Eric Wettschreck Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Another year in Rochester will help him fine tune his swing and get a little more sound on the defensive side, although his defense is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I think we will see him by summer. He is just going to start in AAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarrod32 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I think it was pretty much a given the Harris would be the starting second baseman. Nothing wrong with that...the opportunity to get 12-15 homers from a second baseman is something the Twins haven't had in a while...And Everett is at the top of the depth chart for SS as of right now...

tisosy11 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 What happened to Everett? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach1310 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I have a feeling that Casilla isn't really in Gardy's corner. He's young and a full season of playing, rather than splitting time is what he needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximum12 Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yup, what everyone else said. Plus, anyone who saw the kid play last ought to recognize two things: he's got a lot of potential, & he's not ready. I think he averaged more than one boneheaded play per game after the Castillo trade last year - but if he can harness his talent, he has the potential to be really good. If not, he's Luis Rivas.

blue_healer_guy Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 After watching him play last season, he's where he needs to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilkercal615 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Why are we still wasting our time with Punto...He's a good feilder but I could hit better than him...he is an automatic out every time he is at the plate...We should just cut our losses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
