| If you think Florimon is one of those colorful little mouse things that your kid used to beg you to buy him, you clearly weren't paying attention to the Twins last August. Pedro Florimon took over as their starting shortstop then and, for whatever reason, won over their coaching staff even though he hit .219 with a .579 OPS. The 26-year-old's minor-league track record hints of more where that came from, so Florimon is about the last player you want on your Fantasy team, whether he's playing every day or not. Chances are a Brian Dozier or Eduardo Escobar will get hot enough at some point to convince the Twins to experiment at the position, so Florimon probably isn't the long-term solution anyway. If you get desperate for a middle infielder in an AL-only league, you can give him a look, but otherwise, stay away. (Updated 1/8/13) |
