Article: TD Midseason Top Prospects: #9 Max Kepler
joeboo_22 replied to Parker Hageman's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
With Kepler he has had a solid year, he had a little bit of a slump in late May/Early June before the recent tear. However there are numerous questions on whether he is a prospect or not, and if so is it real. There have been plenty of Twins to have tears at AA, Joe Benson is a great example. The thing that makes me think he is a legit prospect is, he has always been very young for his league, and has noted wasn't healthy in years he has struggled. Is there HR power? no, but in looking at him, he could still put on a little weight. The question is what position does he play, and its a question where you hear so many different responses you aren't sure what they are. TR says he is a CF and its his best position but they play him elsewhere because of Buxton, Now he plays a bunch at 1B, but is that because he can't play LF better than someone else or is it that 1B makes the most sense for the team? Its just confusing, As for future moves I'd move him up to AAA later this week, him at AA does little to no good for the Twins, he is on the 40 man roster, and having him play great in AA does very little, now I do understand the he is still young and is finally having success but when I look at the Twins and see holes at DH and OF I feelas if anyone in those positions should be pushed somewhat hard.
