Edouard Julien is looking to secure a spot on the Opening Day roster thanks to his power against fastballs. While his recent performance has been notable, his defensive limitations could hinder his chances to contribute effectively as a bench player.

Julien is focused on returning to form after a tough season, working on swing mechanics to improve performance. His versatility at second and first base is key as he looks to secure a role for the upcoming season.

Julien is in contention for the starting second base role, having shown promise as a power hitter despite mixed results in his MLB appearances. His performance will be crucial for his chances this season.

Edouard Julien, who has made two career starts at first base, is one of the candidates to fill the position following Carlos Santana's departure. He struggled offensively at the end of the previous season, hitting just .178 over his last 202 plate appearances, which included one home run and 72 strikeouts. Julien acknowledged the need for improvement and expressed determination to prove himself as he prepares for the upcoming season.

Edouard Julien is one of the leading internal candidates for first base, a position the Twins need to address this offseason. While he is not primarily a first baseman, the team is considering him for the role as they explore their options. The front office has indicated that they will rely on internal players like Julien to fill at-bats, particularly if they do not acquire a regular first baseman through trades or free agency.
