Count me as one that doesn't think speed is the end all. If you can't control your repertoire and keep bats guessing, you are going to get hit hard and often. Give me a pitcher like Greg Maddux every day and I'll be happy.
They can option him and recall him within 3 weeks and the option doesn't count. I'm sure someone, aka Bux, Larnach, Kepler or Gallo, will go on the IL by then
Kepler has played in 7 games. In his last 4 he is hitting .250 with 2HR. Since coming back from the IL he is hitting .333. Stats can be skewed, just let him get on a roll.
This team is deep like I have never seen before. We traded away 3 great bat prospects last year, trade Arraez and still have 5 bats in the minors I wouldn't be afraid to bring in. Need the stars and SPs to stay healthy to make this a really fun year
Hope the Twins brass has Rocco's back and pushes this up the line. You don't get a warning when you have an illegal substance and rosin isn't illegal. So what gives? I say someone is lying on the ump crew to CTA
ML baseball is back baby! Love following the hopes and dreams of these young men. While the Twins have graduated and traded away some studs the past year, I am excited for the future of the Twins. The top 10 is loaded with lottery ticket arms and bats
What exactly is his 'uphill battle'? He is locked in as a platoon player at worst, I see no downside to that. All of us would give a finger to be in his uphill battle.
Our 3B for the next 10 years, hopefully! Move him off SS now and let him get comfortable playing 3B. We have some fun minor leaguers knocking really loudly on the big clubs door
