I'm also on the side of letting Kepler take his hacks against lefties, at least through the ASB, and reevaluate a possible upgrade at that point.

His upside is tremendous, IMO, and he won't improve against lefties without reps.

I do understand not wanting to sacrifice results now for progression, but I think it will payoff down the road.

Don't worry the Twins will do what they always do.  Talk the good talk and then sign Lackey and or Colon for another season and walk away calling the offseason successful, LOL.  You wait.

How did Santana do in our most important game of the year? The playoff game?
SSS, of course...but that's sort of the point. Santana is a very solid pitcher, but lacks the "stuff" to really shut down the elite teams, and those are the teams you need to beat in the playoffs.

 

You can't expect to go far in the playoffs with Santana as your staff "ace" pitching 3 games out of 7.

And yet when his slider is working he can beat anybody and pitch a complete game
