To all of those who are still looking for the Twins' center fielder, stop looking. Jason Pridie is it.
Huh?
Pridie, whom the Twins acquired in the Delmon Young-Matt Garza etc. trade, should be crowned the next center fielder. Fully healthy, he hit .303 in 134 games last year, split between AA and AAA. His AAA numbers at Durham, were even better than the AA: .318/OBP .375/SLG .539/OPS .914.
True, he did KO much more than he should have, but he's young, healthy, a good CF. And he has speed - 26 sb (12 at AAA, 14 at AA),
But on the plus side he has power - 14 hr, including 10 at AAA - also 11 triples and 32 doubles (total, AA & AAA).
Overall, I believe he will be nearly as good a player as Jacoby Ellsbury. (I don't see Ellsbury continuing the numbers he had last year).
And Pridie's here, now, and ready.
