A look at how Twins players fared in the various winter leagues.
Annoyingly, playoff stats are not included in winter ball stats, even though the playoffs go on for a month. The only post-season stat that appears to be readily available is batting average. We'll take the players by league, and not include guys who just played a handful of games:
VENEZULAN LEAGUE

Eduardo Escobar (Anzoategui) hit .254/.315/.415 in 193 at-bats. He batted .303 for the post-season.

That's it. The winter baseball season is over. I hope you enjoyed these reports, and I thank you for your patience when I got behind on them. We'll take a couple of months off, then come back in April with the return of Minor Details.
That would be a nice line from Arcia if he could replicate that in the majors.
I'll ask the question on everyone's mind: How did Lew Ford do?
Pretty well. .304/.354/.440 in 207 regular season at-bats.
get it done, TR!!!!!11
The list of potential for faces to swap is getting pretty long.
Thanks for the work Padre!
Definitely.
