    I'm guessing (hoping) he means Dalton Hicks.

    That they both have a lot to prove is my point. I just don't think Rosario's AFL stint this year was that impressive (Championship game aside...). I think he had only the 6th or 7th highest OPS on the team, so Kepler's one of a handful who had a better month. League-wide, he was squarely in the middle. I want Rosario to step up (and long-term, I'm still a believer), but as you state - he has a ways to go. I'm just not able to point to the Fall League as a game-changer, even if it was an improvement over his season.

    I keep reading about Rosario's amazing AFL stint. Interestingly, we never hear that Max Kepler's OPS with Salt River was 50 points higher. So if Rosario was that amazing, then Kepler must be superlative. Or maybe we just want Rosario to be better than he really was last year?

    I think the part of the blue collar ethos that he's referencing is the "keep your head down and don't boast, just do your job" piece. Not sure exactly who the audience is for J.O.'s video. But I have to say, the pitch at 1:35 is positively sick...

    I would look at this as he took one for the team, who enabled a path for the rising star, Mientkiewicz.

    Those aren't his stats. He's played three seasons, and you took his numbers and divided by two. He actually averages 22 HRs, 82 RBIs, and 68 R per year. He's 22 years old and played High-A last year. He's below the average age for the league, and he's been promoted twice. If he hadn't been promoted, he'd still be at E-town. And frankly, if his make-up is such that not getting to spend about a week in spring training at age 22 is going to "kill his spirit", then we should trade him now before his psyche is completely crushed by the world.

    We should definitely be adding Jose Abreu to our 40-man if we have the chance! Not even a question!!! Oh, wait, not THAT Jose Abreu?

    I want to be more positive about Rosario, but beyond his AVG, there's not much. His OPS is only 5th in his team (excluding two guys with minimal at bats. I notice he's been playing a lot of LF. Any reports on his performance out there?

    Why is "DM the clear winner". I think the casual fan is going to flock more to a hall-of-famer from St. Paul than to someone who played first base for the Twins a few years back.

    7.2 innings in MLB. You're seriously going to draw anything from that?

    He's in the lineup today. He only missed one game, which I'm guessing is by design, since they want to ease him back.

    Batting leadoff today. He only missed one game, which is probably according to plan to ease him back in.

    Spot on. Nuance doesn't excite people, but it's necessary.

    I realize that we'll play just about anyone out there these days, but Morales hasn't seen the outfield since 2008, and there's a reason for that. He'll DH, and will see occasional time at 1B. Still -- a good signing.

    Earlier this week, some commentor on the Strib site listed him as one of the "Twins draft picks that were busts." Wow.
  16. gbg
    I believe he meant "Opening Day starter".

    Nick - who is your backup first baseman in this arrangement? Hopefully won't need one often, but the only one has played a single inning at the position, minors or majors, except Mauer, is Willingham, who has a total of four innings there, none since 2009.
