4 years agoMinnesota Twins outfielder Alex Kirilloff has been getting repetitions at first base during camp. Kirilloff played at first growing up and seemingly would increase his chances of making the Opening Day roster with added positional versatility, as he can also play both corner outfield spots. The 23-year-old made his major league debut in the playoffs last season, becoming the first position player in MLB history to record their first career hit in the postseason, though the team can gain an extra year of control by keeping him at Triple-A to start the year. Kirilloff, who slashed .317/.365/.498 with 36 home runs over three minor league seasons, has the potential to be productive in multiple categories if he earns the starting job in left field.--Tim Capurso
