This year, he realized something: It may seem as if he’s public enemy No. Last year, the shortstop didn’t even leave his hotel room when the Astros visited Los Angeles. “I don’t hate that they boo me,” he said. And besides, he pointed out, last year was much worse. The Twins have two top prospects that could (theoretically) play shortstop in Austin Martin and Royce Lewis, but both have their concerns. The Twins’ right-field picture was a lot less complicated with Kepler entrenched in the position.
Jake Cave, Kyle Garlick and Gilberto Celestino were among the others who saw playing time in left field.
#TWINS SHORTSTOP FREE#
It’s normal for Correa at this point, he said. The Twins have their new starting shortstop after signing free agent Andrelton Simmons to a one-year, 10.5 million deal on Sunday. 2 days ago &0183 &32 Gordon moved around throughout the season, primarily between left field, center field and second base with some shortstop mixed in. Nowhere is it more pronounced than at Dodger Stadium, where Correa spent two days this week garnering the loudest boos and jeers he’s heard all season, along with frequent chants of “cheat-er, cheat-er” when he dug into the batter’s box. The Astros beat the Dodgers that year in the World Series, but later, their electronic sign-stealing scheme was revealed, drawing the ire of fans around the league. It’s part of the territory now, not just for him, but for his 2017 Astros teammates. Carlos Correa can’t go to any road stadium without hearing the boos. Going into this offseason, the Minnesota Twins are going to face a serious decision at the shortstop position.
