Yikes!!! Is that really Perkins who gave up 3 runs so far?

[Mr. Ed]

Perkins gives up 3 runs in the 7th. 11-5

[Mr. Ed]

Hollimon came in to play first, Hughes moved to LF.

I guess...also, to those who are saying that Revere should be starting at AAA, even with his (currently) 0-3 day, he is still hitting .340, albeit with only 2 2B, but he also has 3 SB

[J-Dog Dungan]

make that a 1-4 day for Revere

Capps just gave up an earned run...

TFFA - My opinion is that they should put the time into Benson and Hicks, not Revere. I'm not saying that Revere doesn't have his uses, but how often do you need just a glove and range in the OF? If you bring him in as a defensive replacement, what good is that if a guy gets on second? A single will always score that run. Plouffe has his problems too, I'm not denying that. I just think that it's time the Twins started to think about out-scoring their opponents now because the pitching staff is going to need it. Plouffe can produce more runs than Revere can save.

But can Plouffe produce and save more runs than Revere can produce and save? That is the real question. Revere's 2011 WAR was 2.0 and Plouffe's was -0.6. Of course Plouffe played less, but is still a significant difference. I am not sure how more people are pointing to Willingham as being the problem here.

Starting in AAA is better than playing 1/3 of the time for the Twins to begin the season.
