Kavanaugh is a connected Washington insider with roots in politics in the George W. Circuit - often thought of as the second-most-powerful court in the country - to replace Justice Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme Court.

President Trump has chosen Brett Kavanaugh, a conservative judge from the U.S. Kavanaugh is Trump's pick to replace Kennedy on the Supreme Court.

Send us an email DM us on Twitter or find us on Facebook.Brett Kavanaugh is sworn in as a federal judge by Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy in 2006. HeвЂ™s also among their trade chips as a middle infielder. Jorge Polanco is viewed by scouts a second baseman, but heвЂ™s ready for the bigs and has played a considerable amount of shortstop in the minors. A Ricky Nolasco-for-Jose Reyes bad contract swap has been thrown around, though IвЂ™m pessimistic a deal like that happens. ThereвЂ™s a few other sleeper options for shortstop, too. Problem is, I donвЂ™t think heвЂ™s consistent enough with the bat or glove to hold down a spot all season. But thereвЂ™s no reason to spend on Desmond when Escobar is there as a potential bridge to Nick Gordon in 2017.

Does he throw that line down for a full season of work? Probably not. He was great from August through the end of the season batting. If not Ian Desmond, who starts at shortstop in 2016? Patrick, Mankato:ДЄt this point, not starting Eduardo Escobar would be snubbing him. ItвЂ™s imaginable he shows up in September off the bench when the Twins need him to try and run into a pitch. I also think Walker will have to pay some dues in Triple-A, unlike Sano, to try and ready his overall approach more. 239/.309/.498 line, 31 home runs, 34/9 K/BB percentage split aligns him more with Javier Baez than anyone else. In todayвЂ™s game of prospects, sometimes you have to accept the strikeouts with the power. Walker has the power, but his hit tool is far below SanoвЂ™s. What can we expect from Miguel Sano this year? John, Minneapolis: The only real questions with Zimmermann is how much does he want, and who else will chase him? If IвЂ™m the Twins and want to make a legitimate run at him, I make my max offer early on while everyone else has attention focused on David Price and Zack Greinke. That and if he signs for a bargain, heвЂ™s staying in Washington, which is the only way you sign him if youвЂ™re the Minnesota Twins. His good years are top-5 shortstop, but his bad years are ugly. Beyond him, the market at shortstop, catcher and relief is mediocre at best. IвЂ™m a firm believer the Twins need an ace to take the next step, a point IвЂ™ll expand on with my pitching outlook.

HereвЂ™s a softball: whoвЂ™s the #1 target in free agency? has to be Jordan Zimmermann, right?. A team could easily view him as a first base option (118 innings in 2015), opening him up realistically to Colorado, Baltimore, San Diego, and - in a backup/platoon role at both positions - the Pirates and Mets.ДЄll that said, IвЂ™d only be mildly surprised if he did return to Minnesota in 2016.

Off hand, Plouffe would be an immediate upgrade in Milwaukee, and depending on free agency, the White Sox, Angels and Indians. And, really, any way to free up payroll at overstocked positions to spend on needs should be considered.

Dealing him solves the riddle how to work in field time for Miguel Sano and Joe Mauer, among other potential DH options. His estimated arbitration value is $7.7 million, fairly cheap for a third baseman coming off a season with 22 home runs and a 3.6 fWAR in one of the leagueвЂ™s worst hittersвЂ™ parks, and two full seasons from free agency. Plouffe could have a lot of value to other teams entering 2016, so the Twins should actively shop him.
