Singlet...That's a lame comparison to Singleton. Singleton played there in 08 and hit better. Singleton has hit better and been more consistent than DeLoSantos his entire career. Since you are checking, check Beloit as well. DeLoSantos didn't hit at all....and oh yeah....he got hurt there too. How about E-Town? Singleton hit better there too. DeloSantos steals more bases. But he kicks more balls in the infield as well. The same will probably be the case in New Britain. You need guys that can play every day in all types of weather...not just the sauna of Florida in the summer. Singleton is the more productive and better choice. Just because he didn't go in the Rule V draft, don't think that he isn't considered a player. Rule V is not a position players draft. Yes a few go each year, but not many. Let's see DeLoSantos actually complete a full year (500 plate appearances) playing every day. Then let's judge. He hasn't done anything yet...but maybe he will. The Twins certainly hope he will. In the meantime, Singleton is the better guy. And don't belive the BS (not Bill Smith). If he were to get a shot at the bigs...he'd hit there too...Why?...because he can hit (It's really that simple). So can Dinkelman. The perception that fans tend to have is that since a guy hasn't gotten a chance at the Show, that means that he can't play at that level. That couldn't be further from the truth. The real answer is that he just hasn't got a chance at it.....period.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072196.post-44661306989135450672009-12-12T23:59:13.849-06:002009-12-12T23:59:13.849-06:00You gotta hope that some of these guys like De Los...You gotta hope that some of these guys like De Los Santos pan out. Middle infield is the glaring weakness in the Twins minor leagues.Joshnoreply@blogger.com
