FORT MYERS, Fla. >> For much of the offseason, one of the questions surrounding the Twins was “Who’s on first?” After signing Ty France earlier this month, that question now has more of a concrete answer.

Now, the question is who will be standing next to France on the diamond a majority of the time.

“As we sit here right now, we don’t have one player that I’m going to say, ‘Yeah, the guy is going to get 600 plate appearances over at second base,’” manager Rocco Baldelli said. “We might. It might turn out like that, but we have a few guys that we can turn to.”

There are several of them, Baldelli said, without naming names. The contenders include Brooks Lee, Edouard Julien, Willi Castro and even Austin Martin.

Castro, an all-star last season, has a spot cemented on the team. For him, it’s just a matter of where he will play. There’s no guarantees any of the other three will begin the season in the major leagues. As it sits now, it appears that there are two roster spots up for grabs.

Julien had the job to begin last season, but he struggled during his sophomore season in the majors at the plate, and was eventually optioned to Triple-A in June. He returned briefly in July and then again in August, finishing the season with the Twins.

After a promising rookie season, Julien hit .199 with a .616 OPS last year. He frequently struck out looking, tallying 102 strikeouts in 301 major league plate appearances (33.8 percent). If he could turn things around, he could also be a left-handed DH option for the Twins and perhaps could see some time at first.

“I think last year when I came in here, not it was given, but I pretty (much) knew my spot on the team, and you kind of get back into trying to prove everybody wrong,” Julien said. “You try to prove that you’re the player that you are.”

Lee debuted last season to much fanfare and hype — he was one of the top prospects in Major League Baseball at the time after being selected eighth overall by the Twins in 2022. But after a promising first couple weeks, he struggled in his first taste of the majors.

He finished the year hitting .221 with a .585 OPS in 50 games while playing some second, third and short. And while he knows he is competing for a spot on the team, he doesn’t seem to necessarily approach it that way.

“We’re all individuals. We’re all going to try to do the best we can. But at the end of the day, we’re teammates, so I wouldn’t really view it too much as a competition,” Lee said. “If we all get better at what we’re doing, then it’s going to be a better team, and that’s what matters.”

Martin, like Lee, debuted last season and had more of an extended taste of the majors — 93 games — but was up and down all season between Triple-A and the big leagues. If the Twins opt to have another right-handed outfield option rather than carry a strict infielder like Lee or Julien, Martin could also play some second.

As for Castro, much of his value is derived from the fact that he can move around the field. But he’s certainly likely to see time at second and easily could be stationed there on Opening Day.

“I like knowing we have good, talented options, guys that can go out there and have an above-average season, win a bunch of games for us on both sides of the ball,” Baldelli said. “We have those guys. It’s our job to filter them out, watch them (and) see who’s ready to go ultimately.”
