Pags looked pretty miserable yesterday for a guy who lead the league in DA in 1991, muffing what should be routine grounders (heck, muffing a grounder *I* would probably have gotten to). Jorgenson did nothing exceptional that I noticed. Leius missed a ball I *think* Gagne would have reached; we will certainly miss Gag's glove this season. >Winfield has struggled during preseason. Sunday against the Colorado >Rockies he went 2 for 3 with 2 RBIs and scored once. > He looked pretty good there. Contrary to what the mediots have been saying, he looked reasonable at first. He isn't mid-80s Hrbek, but then neither is the Pretty Big Guy himself any more (note: I'm used to seeing the Twins 1B looking kinda big on the field, but not that big!). If he hits vaguely like last year, he's a perfectly good first baseman. Note: Much of this posting is from personal observation yesterday in a game where the regulars were mostly pulled after several innings. Winfield may have big holes in his defensive game that didn't show up (he didn't have to pick any bad throws, for example), but I'll take what I saw so far.
