Ty France

France finishes the spring with a remarkable .477 average and 1.261 OPS. He should be locked in as the Twins' everyday first baseman early on, and while we don't imagine he'll offer mixed-league value all year, he could be a decent enough injury stopgap for the short term.

Edouard Julien also had a nice game, going 3-for-5 with two doubles and three RBI. Brooks Lee wound up 1-for-4. It remains to be seen if the Twins are going to find time for all three of their former top prospects on the roster while being committed to playing Ty France at first and giving Harrison Bader a lot of time in left. Miranda remains a wild card, since, unlike Julien and Lee, he's not an option at second. Miranda has played plenty of third this spring, but the Twins haven't given Royce Lewis any time at second, which suggests that arrangement isn't on the table. Miranda, who is batting .321/.382/.464 this spring, will probably be a backup initially, but that could change in an instant if Lewis, Byron Buxton or someone else gets hurt.

France has a nice little .550/.591/1.050 line in 22 plate appearances. We're not buying in, but there's not really any doubt left about his status as the Twins' starter at first base.
