I voted for Morneau and Richards. I wasn't going to vote for a White Sox player, so it was between Richards and Kluber for me. Richards has been pitching well so I went with him.
I love watching baseball, so any day that isn't the offseason is a happy day for me. It would be a lot more fun if the Twins were performing better, but it is exciting to see some of the performances in the minor leagues.
Could his decline in performance be a result of not getting days off? It seems like who is in the lineup every day. I can't recall who is the backup 2nd basemen. It must be Escobar.
Chad Christensen had a pretty good month of June with that bat. As you can see from the Twins Daily Minor League Hitters of the Month, he finished June going 27-89 (.303/.373/.528 (.901) with 4 doubles, 2 triples four homers and 22 RBI.
Pure speculation. Maybe we should try getting more than 5 hits in 7 innings before we blame the manager for not pinch running a slow runner for another slow runner that isn't quite as slow.
