The Future of the Machine

Lets take a look ahead to what the roster may look like in the near future for the Minnesota Machine.

Catchers

Jeffrey Webber Minnesota Machine Age: 27 B/T: R/R Born: Columbia, KY Position(s): C View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Kerry Buck Minnesota Machine Age: 21 B/T: R/R Born: Okarche, OK Position(s): C View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Max Guzman Minnesota Machine Age: 24 B/T: R/R Born: Forest, MS Position(s): C View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Guzman, Buck, and Webber are all adequate defensive catchers. Look for two of them to be sharing time on the big league roster.

First Base

Yorrick Warner Minnesota Machine Age: 23 B/T: R/R Born: Cambridge, IL Position(s): 1B View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Paulie Powell Minnesota Machine Age: 27 B/T: S/R Born: Baltimore, MD Position(s): DH/1B View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Both of these guys can crush the ball but Warner has the better defensive skills so look for him to take the starting spot.

Second Base

Mike Munro Minnesota Machine Age: 23 B/T: R/R Born: Hale, MI Position(s): 2B/CIF/OF/DH View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Mack Dingman Minnesota Machine Age: 26 B/T: R/R Born: Westerville, OH Position(s): 2B/CIF/OF/DH View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Nicholas Zimmerman Minnesota Machine Age: 21 B/T: R/R Born: Laurel, MD Position(s): 2B/1B/LF/DH View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Zimmerman or Munro will be the starter. Dingman may be kept to provide an option to steal some bases from time to time.

Third Base and Shortstop

Evan Griffin Minnesota Machine Age: 20 B/T: S/R Born: Evans, GA Position(s): SS/IF/OF/DH View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Tony Bennett Minnesota Machine Age: 22 B/T: R/R Born: Guayubin, DO Position(s): SS/IF/OF/DH View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Justin Garcia Minnesota Machine Age: 19 B/T: R/R Born: Wilmette, IL Position(s): SS/IF/OF/DH View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Griffin and Garcia will take the top spots with one starting at each spot. The injury to Bennett will make him the backup option to both of these spots.

Outfield

Ramiro Rivera Minnesota Machine Age: 24 B/T: R/R Born: Rancho Viejo, DO Position(s): SS/IF/OF/DH View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Alex Cordero Minnesota Machine Age: 25 B/T: R/R Born: Anchorage, AK Position(s): LF/1B/DH View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Zachrey Cole Minnesota Machine Age: 19 B/T: L/L Born: Bedford, IA Position(s): CF/1B/OF/DH View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Arthur Ellis Minnesota Machine Age: 18 B/T: R/R Born: Millville, NJ Position(s): RF/1B/LF/DH View Hardball Dynasty Profile

These guys will fight it out for the outfield starting spots. Rivera will hold his job in center. Ellis may end up in left field and Cole will be out in right.
