Jorge Polanco Struggles In The Field Thursday
4 years agoMinnesota Twins second baseman Jorge Polanco struggled in the field during Thursday's loss to the Rays. Polanco collected two walks and a hit but committed a throwing error in the first inning, then had a wild throw on a potential double-play ball that cost the Twins a run. The former shortstop did make a nice sliding stop later in the game- complete with a throw from the seat of his pants. Polanco is getting reacclimated to the position, having played some there during his minor league career, though it certainly helps that he's healthy and pain-free for the first spring in awhile. He's put together some really patient at-bats so far this spring, which is a good sign for his 2021 prospects at the plate. He's a good late-round target at a thin position, provided he can make strides defensively this spring.
