The pressures of being a MLB player have to be tremendous.  In a sport, where failure is part of the daily game, any extra pressure is probably not welcomed that much.  I'm going to stay neutral on Lewis.  I hope he prospers, but the guy still needs time and some breathing room.  

Realistically the guy needs to stay healthy to play.  I have no doubt talent wise.

Aren't the coaches the same for Lewis as all the "bad" hitters on the Twins? If it's all on these coaches, then shouldn't Twins fan's expect the same results from Lewis?  Why the optimism? In fact I'm not sure why's the Twins even went down to Houston. They surely can't be expecting to win any games there and then they have Cleveland next! Might as well throw in the towel now. Don't tell that to the Celtics who were down 3-0 a week ago. 

Lewis hasnt really been exposed to the MLB coaching yet.

Played terrifically, champ.

Houston is number one in team E.R.A.  Was a bit surprised at that,  Always think Hitting with these guys,  Twins are 2nd in team E.R.A. ,  Be a good time for our Boys to put up 5+ runs a game , Big Series  Go Twins

Oh so it doesn't trickle down to the lower levels? The philosophy must be different there. I see

If there's some plan for Buxton to return to CF, then Lewis to 3rd makes a lot of sense to me.

Otherwise...you're 100 percent spot on.

I think the plan is to be noncommittal/vague about what's going on with CF, and pretend that Buxton as a DH only isn't a problem.

Juliens rep in the Minors was , good eye Patience alot of walks,  He has to adjust to that,   Cant keep taking hittable pitches going in a hole and Then Swinging over your Head,   Pitchers up here take advantage of that

[USAFChief]

Storybook return avoided.

[stringer bell]

Royce just missed it.

Trickle how?  Lewis has been out for a year with torn ACL.  Not exposed to MLB hitting coaches cause injured.

You're right. He just started swinging this past 2 weeks.

But, the thing is, we DO have above average starters, so not sure your point.

The Houston radio booth is singing the praises for the Twins starters.
