In this Sept. 20, 2012, photo, Minnesota Twins third baseman Trevor Plouffe throws out a runner in a baseball game against the Cleveland Indians in Cleveland. Plouffe was drafted as a shortstop, and has spent time at other positions. In late May last season, Plouffe settled in at third base, an on-the-fly learning process that provided an opportunity to find a home in the field. His ability to establish himself as a reliable regular in the majors will hinge largely on how well he plays this season, and the Twins are hoping that his narrowed focus will be the catalyst for more improvement.
