Lou I should have started my post acknowledging that your article was both clever and accurate as far as Keplers value. All things considered he’s kind of an asset/luxury for the Twins at the moment but as you point out, is going to eventually need to leave the party. Like a lot of people I grew weary of watching pound grounder after grounder into the shift, seemingly unwilling to consider any adjustments. But hey, I saw him take a pitch the way recently! Im not banking on him getting traded, and he’s got too much value to just dump, but there’s a roster jam on the horizon and it’s going to be increasingly difficult to defend him, especially when this little hot (lukewarm?) streak ends.

I'll agree to put away the torches and pitchforks as far as running Max out of town. For now. We have ample evidence to confidently know what he is; a plus right fielder, capable in a pinch of playing centerfield, with a decline (but not completely useless) bat. To my knowledge he's carried himself well, not been a negative clubhouse guy, and most casual (?) Twins fans think well of him. I just don't want to see him batting near the top of the order.

Maybe not a Broadway show, but it’s supposed to be entertainment nonetheless. Im not alone in finding this brand of Twins baseball painful to watch. Rocco hasn’t shown any feel for the “moment”; his in-game decisions are uninspiring to say the least. That Gordon AB was classic.
