This is the first version of the 'who is NOT hot in the Twins' minors' series for 2012.

My guy Mastroianni is hitting .304 at AAA, after a slow start in AA New Britain. That ought to be enough to get him off the not-hot list.

Yeah. Give him a couple weeks and will be off the list.

He's at .370 after Wednesday night. At this rate, if you wait a couple more weeks before taking him off, he'll be batting 1.162.

Down to .290 in AAA and to .243 overall (and .557 overall OPS) right now

He's hitting .395 after Friday's game.

Here are Mastroianni's total numbers after Friday's game.

His AA stint was not good. Right now he has enough PAs in AAA to hit a respectable .274/.338/.315 overall, which is good enough to get him of this list in the next iterration.
