As we've seen with Kepler over the years, garbage contact is worse than a strikeout. Sure, you might eek out a hit 10-15% of the time but you also GIDP often and make a pitcher's job easy by getting him out of the PA in a couple of pitches.

This is a point so many miss. A SO is much better than a weak ground ball.

Hopefully over the next 10 days to 2 weeks, Miranda gets a fresh start and is able to reset his mind a bit. There is a good hitter in there, just have to find it.

Now, I'm curious if he is going to be a full time 3b at some point. With Lewis working rehab at 3b, I wonder if Miranda will become more the 1b/dh/3b whenever his bat is ready. 

First, get the bat ready and let the rest get figured out.

I agree and feel that his fielding is too suspect to be an everyday player unless he becomes such a good hitter that he must be in the lineup.  Miranda is going to have become a complete player to be everyday and that seems to suggest that his road back might take a bit longer.  Of course, if he starts hitting and Twins continue their lack of hitting, they may have to just deal with his crummy glove.

What a relief...best decision they have made as of lately...it's one thing to be in a hitting slump, but Miranda does not

know how to play 3rd base....really makes a fan miss Urshela. Farmer is a much better all around player and gets key

hits. Miranda lost me last year with his record number of hitting into double plays; buzz kill
