Miguel Sano Could See Time At Both Corner Infield Spots
4 years agoMinnesota Twins first baseman Miguel Sano could also see some time at the hot corner this year. Sano was originally a third baseman by trade, though the team shifted him to first when they signed Josh Donaldson last offseason. The 27-year-old could get some starts at third with the team planning to rest Donaldson more often, though he's still committed to learning first after putting work in this offseason with Fernando Tatis Sr.- who helped him improve his footwork and positioning based on who's at the plate. Sano's work with the bat is well-known, as he is a legitimate destroyer of baseballs, having placed in the top-10 in home runs to fly ball ratio, hard contact rate, and barrel rate over the last five seasons. He'll strike out a fair amount but has 40-homer potential at a 176 ADP.
