So as of late, the Minnesota Twins' infield seems pretty secure.
Because they were National Leaguers, I don't know a whole lot about second baseman Brendan Harris, shortstop Adam Everett, or third baseman Mike Lamb. I have seen all of them play, and they weren't on my list of hopeful acquisitions for a team that I really, really, really, really want to make the playoffs this year.
But I don't think they'll be half bad, either.
Take a look at the stats for:
- Lamb (http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=150286);
- Everett (http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=276361);
- and Harris (http://minnesota.twins.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=430593).
And wish us luck. I think Lamb (always on base) and Harris (should score a lot of runs) can be good hitters, but Everett (cutting down on strikeouts) is a all-field, no-hit kind of guy. I don't mind having a veteran shortstop with a lot of range, because that also takes the onus off of Nick Punto to play every day. This will be a good situation for the Twins.
