Sports medicine specialist Dr. Neal ElAttrache told him his ankle was great, he said, and Twins medical director Dr. Christopher Camp said Correa was in "outstanding shape, even better than last year."

Wow, he’s in the best shape of his life.

Both of them sure but Rengifo isn't really suited to be a SS as of last year so will he be the starting shortstop 150 games this year? 100 games for him and the rest for Fletcher? Vice versa?

Rojas is a SS was the point and he was better than Angels SS in 2022. For this year, I do agree Angels should be better.

Could potentially see:

1B: Walsh 110 games, Urshela 52 games

2B: Drury 100 games, Rengifo 62 games

SS: Fletcher 80 games, Rengifo 70 games, Urshela 12 games

3B: Rendon 135 games, Urshela 27 games

Maybe more Urshela and Drury...

The first 2 were before he signed his first deal with the Twins, in my post I said he hadn’t taken a physical since the signing

They checked his ankle in his exit physical.

Gary Sanchez is a POS.

I love it when you say this, because you have been saying it for quite some time.  Is this a joke, or is it based on something?  I am sure there is something behind it, I just am unfamiliar with what that is.

He's the type of guy to hop in a brawl and only try to cheap shot the guy already pinned down by his buddy.

Obviously a lot will depend on health and performance, but this feels like a solid rough projection.

[Angel Oracle]

It’s nice to have the position player depth for darn sure.

Tiring seeing the AAAA guys on the field for far too often

Focus now is acquiring a set up man next.

Gonna laugh if it was the wrong ankle though.
