He was a premature call-up then, needed by happenstance because of a bad big-league club and lackluster 40-man depth. Throughout his time in the minors though there was always one thing he could be counted on to do: hit.

Of course, that would also mean he is due for another start somewhere on May 24th, which is...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">7840</guid><pubDate>Thu, 23 May 2019 19:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Baldelli Is More Coddling Millennial Than Field General</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/baldelli-is-more-coddling-millennial-than-field-general-r7837/</link><description>The victories keep piling up, the lead in the American League Central keeps increasing, World Series odds keep improving and you&#x2019;d better believe other teams across baseball are taking notice. If the Twins&#x2019; success continues, don&#x2019;t be surprised if Millennialball becomes the new Moneyball.

Minnesota&#x2019;s offense has ranked as one of the best in the league. There are few weaknesses from top to bottom in the line-up. The Twins rank second in the AL in batting average, SLG, OPS, home runs, and hits. They have also scored the most runs and hit the most doubles.
