    I think they're wasting the kid on the bench. He's still barely 24 years old and has shown improvements in power recently. Initially, I didn't think he'd have the power to play first base on a major league squad but I'm reconsidering that belief. He walks at a good clip and has the makings of at least a league-average bat if he continues to advance toward his prime. Morneau is playing well and hasn't lapsed since his DL stint. At this point, I think it's time to put Parmelee back in Rochester and let him play every day.

    Rob Deer was a walk machine, averaging about .100 points higher OBP than AVG. That helped offset his atrocious BA and turned him from being below average to being slightly above average as a hitter. Do you honestly expect Plouffe to do that? Trevor's OBP was roughly .060 points higher than his BA in the minors and it's a lot easier to draw a walk down there than it is in the majors. Besides, using straight avg/2b/hr stat lines on guys who played 30 years apart is nearly useless. You should be looking more at adjusted lines than straight stats.

    They were definitely hired for their brains. How hard is it to lip-sync to a song correctly? I've seen dubbed Hong Kong flicks better than that.

    I haven't been much of a Plouffe fan since not long after he was drafted. But at this point, the Twins have no better options and the guy is raking. Over at BYTO, I raised the question whether his career arc could be comped to a slightly younger version of Garrett Jones (the key difference being that Jones can actually hit righties, a more valuable commodity than hitting lefties). I'm still incredibly skeptical of Plouffe's ability to hit at an above-average level for a prolonged period of time but the Twins literally have nothing to lose by throwing him out there on a daily basis. Guys who can't hit righties don't make for very valuable players in the long run. If Plouffe is going to make it as a hitter, he's going to have to figure out how to hit RH pitchers at an acceptable level (which he is doing now but I doubt his current level of play is sustainable).
