Ranking the 15 Most Important Twins Players for the Stretch Run

[JD-TWINS]

The odds of 3 catchers when roster expands are ZERO. Leon or Jeffers vs. Winder or Maeda…….with Mahle being monitored rest of regular season, at best, along with our normal #4 & #5 starters, we need as many arms as we can carry!!

Buxton is hurt & will continue to do what he does - a flash every 4 or 5 games. Correa has to perform. Arraez stays consistent…….these are all givens. Can’t blow saves, again a given.

Kepler or Polanco, currently 20 points under and 40 points under their career averages with drops in power (particularly Kepler) are the guys that need to shift into another gear.

Urshella - Miranda - Gordon need to stay steady. Not ALL can be hot, never happens, but Kepler & Polanco need to help & not just play defense!!!
