There’s a way to alert me that I missed adding “in his career before coming to Minnesota” without accusing me of using AI

That's just what an AI would say, amirite.

What crystal ball says Culpepper will not field like Keashall and hit like Fedko?

We can all find out together.

Next year it would be a normal occurrence ; this year it would be an obtuse occurrence.

I’ll give a serious answer. Culpepper has a first round pedigree, he has plus tools, including both speed and arm strength and he’s improved year over year. There is no guarantee that he’ll be good, but by every measure, he looks like an improvement over the shortstop play the Twins have received thus far.

I fully expect Culpepper to struggle some as a hitter and I’m not sure how good he’ll be as a defender. I also think the TD faithful have probably overestimated how ready he is to contribute.

Why wait? What does Culpepper have to do to prove he’s ready?

No question in my feeble mind, Culpepper has earned a call-up.

Step One is to get off the injured List. It wouldn’t be out if the question for him to put in a week or so of good play after that.

I can't believe that when you wrote this article (before Saturday's game) he had only played 61 innings at SS. I was certain that was wrong. It was correct. He's at 79 now, after having started there the last two games.
