24. Trevor Plouffe
Shortstop
Bats: Right
Age: 23
ETA: 2011
Potential: Slightly below average starting shortstop
2010 outlook: Rochester Red Wings starting shortstop
Trevor Plouffe was the Twins #1 draft pick in 2004. He’s never posted spectacular numbers at any level, but people have always argued that he’s always been young for the level of play. This year at AAA Rochester he hit 10 homers, 23 doubles, and 5 triples. He drew 34 walks and struck out 68 times. His triple slash line was .260/.313/.407. He does play decent defense. You don’t expect huge offensive numbers from your shortstop, so if Plouffe can play the position well defensively, he should be a semi-decent shortstop in the bigs. He is now blocked by the Twins newly acquired shortstop JJ Hardy. He could be the backup, but that role is blocked by Punto and Tolbert.
