Brooks Lee Called Up

[Hrbowski]

Brooks Lee called up, Royce Lewis likely to IL. Congrats, Brooks, and welcome to the show!

Good to see the young guy with the pedigree get the call, but I'm guessing that means it's not so great news for the state of Lewis' groin. If it was a short-term thing, it feels like it would've been someone already on the 40-man.

Awesome! Hope he’s in the lineup tomorrow so I can see him live at Target Field!

Very glad to see him get his chance.  Hope he adjusts to MLB pitching and is up for good.

Not quite certain where he is going to fit defensively.  He's played SS almost exclusively in the minors.  I know we have all been thinking of him as a future 2B guy... but he has played a grand total of 3 games there.  3B is really no better, with a dozen games played at that spot.  Maybe they'll just DH him?  It's asking a lot of him to learn to play new positions at the MLB level.  With Correa entrenched at SS it's a little odd to me that he wasn't moved around the infield more often to prepare him for alternatives.

Twins put guys at positions they've never played all the time. I'm guessing second base.

Good luck to him! Alas, another Lewis injury.

Pumped for Lee to make his debut but feel awful for Lewis. Tough blow to suffer another injury so soon.

[Craig Arko]

Playing 3B, batting eighth. Good luck, kid!

Seriously, can they get a designated runner for Lewis?  Feel bad for the kid.  Getting a little frustrating though.  Not his fault though.
