Around SBN: Sean Keeley's Week 12 College Football Buffet

As the story says, after Redmond is Morales, with 4 career ML ABs. His minor league numbers look to peg him at around the same as Redmond offensively, I think. Some shifting in obp/slg to maintain his OPS on a repeat of AAA but a constant, and possibly out of whack high BA. Its higher then his younger years, which might mean an obp drop is expected; or he learned to watch more balls go by as his walks were up and SO's down.

Looks like he split time with Ryan Jorgensen in AAA in a possible platoon, although Morales is a switch hitter.

I have no insight on the defensive side. Any notes?

"Another Twins 'Catcher' Goes Down" would have been a better title...

for obvious reasons.

You are right. But larry is actually a prick too.

Mike Redmond (5 DXL)
The worst-case scenario for the Twins was their losing Redmond before Joe Mauer was ready to return. The season had barely begun before Redmond strained his groin early on Opening Day, finally having to be removed from the game. Afterwards, he was visibly uncomfortable, and admitted that he was very concerned. The Twins must be as well, with Jose Morales as their only healthy player at the position; he was supposed to be no more than an emergency catcher, not starting at all if possible. Sources tell me that the Twins are scrambling to figure out which organizational catcher they can have at the ready, someone they can bring to Minnesota but not activate, while hoping that they won’t need to use third baseman and emergency catcher Brian Buscher.
