Tell me oh 

It was about A) He didn't force anything (he did) and B) and it only being about Keaschall's glove (it's more than that, but that is an issue,.)

Do you like watching Buxton play hurt and Larnach not hit for 2 months while also seeing Keaschall not be able to defend in the outfield? You have a player that is A) Better than Buxton when Buxton is injured, B) better than Larnach for sure on defense and on the bases as well as probably with the bat, and C) certainly can move Keaschall to a less demanding outfield spot because Keaschall can't defend? Then THAT is what is happening here.

Culpepper and now Jenkins.  The future has arrived.  Culpepper got #12, as opposed to some spring training one, so he isn't going anywhere.  See if the same happens to Jenkins.

Twins Twitter posted, he will have #11,

Culpepper and Jenkins can feed off each other, if nothing else, right? 

Josh Bell is in vibe heaven.

I really hoped for that, for no logical reason at all

Let's go, Walker Jenkins!

No pressure kid, just replace Byron Buxton,

Sad to say, but replacing the Buxton we've seen recently isn't a high bar.

The only thing that sucks about this is having to wait until tomorrow to see him play.

What does this mean for Erod? 

My guess is that he comes up when rosters expand.

Ridiculous they didn't call him up sooner. What's the damn excuse for playing Larnach and Roden and Keaschell in CF?

Uhhhh. . .  The only one that I come up with is that they have a ticking heart.  Certainly not their offensive nor their defensive skillsets!

It'll be tough to live up to the unbelievably high expectations out here. 

Do those exist for the Twins?

[Mike Sixel]

I doubt anyone (well, most people) aren't expecting perfection right away.....but I've been wrong about 40% of the people hte last decade, so what do I know?

Yeah, fingers crossed. I'd like E-Rod to join the mix and Keaschall and even Lee are still part of this  generation that can create a new energy.

Even when they were losing, seeing the young Byron Buxton, Eddie Rosario, Miguel Sano, Max Kepler, Jorge Polanco and Oswaldo Arcia standing on the front step of the dugout cheering every run their teammates got was more exciting baseball. Same happened with the Hunter/Jones/Koskie/Ortiz/Guzman era and obviously the early 80's teams that went on to win championships. I get that veteran players bring other intangibles, but it seems this organization only ever has sustained success when they throw large group of their homegrown talent center stage and give them the reigns. 

Yeah, and watching Hosken, Bombo, Lenny, and...

Nevermind.
