Milone looks like he should be the number 1 guy on a staff like ours.

Maybe 2 runs?

Polanco Starts out season with a bang Chattanooga began their season Thursday night, heading to Montgomery. Jorge Polanco, a 21 year old shortstop is the star of the series here on Twins Daily. Jorge, coming off a big year is batting 2nd in this year's lineup, behind the Twins #1 prospect Byron Buxton. Jorge is one of the teams better hitters, so the Lookouts will be relying on the top part of the order to drive in some runs. Jorge Polanco did not disappoint tonight. Stepping up to the plate in the first inning Jorge singled to right field, advancing Byron Buxton to 3rd, but the inning was halted with the Lookouts stranding 2 runners on the bases. In the 3rd inning Jorge found himself back at the plate, with Buxton at first. However this time things ended the bad way. Jorge grounded into a pitchers best friend, a 6-4-3 double play, but this did not end his night. Advance to the 5th inning, and this is the inning where Jorge shows he can do it all. He steps into the left handed batters box, with a man on 2nd. Jorge jumps on the first pitch, hitting it over the center fielders head, and driving in the team's first RBI of the season. He isn't done just yet though, as he steals 2nd base showing off his wheels. Later in the inning he is drove in to make the score 2-0. His next at bat would be in the 6th inning when he grounds out to shortstop. In his final AB of the night, Jorge hit a slow roller to first, but the pitcher got to the bag just in time. The season looks bright for Jorge Polanco! Jorge Polanco's stats through 1 game .400 Average/0 HR/1 RBI/.800 OPS/1 SB

Jorge Polanco playing decent. 2-3, an RBI, a run, and a stolen base.

Could Mauer not be our 3rd catcher?

Cut under eye i think

Hermann out. When is Pinto back?

Exactly what we don't need. Gibson throwing 50+ pitches before the 3rd inning.

He was out.

Well, what can you do?

By the time this years 1st pick is called up, Buxton will be ready to retire.

Hick outscoring MLB roster...SMH

Jorge Polanco http://extras.mnginteractive.com/live/media/site569/2013/0913/20130913__Polanco,%20Jorge.jpg Position: 2nd base and Shortstop Height/Weight: 5'11" 200 LBS Handness (B/T): S/R Age: 21 Years old (July 5th, 1993) Signed: In 2009 as an international free agent. Prospect rank: MLB.Com Rank - 7th "Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 35 | Run: 50 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 50 The fact Polanco was called up to the big leagues to help out for a brief spell in 2014 may have been a bit surprising. The fact the young middle infielder handled himself like a veteran during his five-game stay surprised no one. While his Major League debut was a stopgap measure, there's little question Polanco will get back to the highest level for a much longer stay soon. Much of that is because of his advanced bat. A switch-hitter, Polanco has a great approach at the plate, making consistent contact to all fields with some slowly developing extra-base pop. A solid average to tick-above-average runner, Polanco played mostly second base early in his career. He started focusing on shortstop in 2014, and he has the range and hands to play there, with an average arm, and he's working on his footwork to allow his throws to have more carry across the infield. Polanco has the skills to be an everyday shortstop, and the Twins know he can shift back to second base at any time and become a big league regular on the right side of the infield as well." BaseballAmerica.com Rank - 10th Bleacherreport Rank - 8th "Jorge Polanco continued to hit his way up the organizational ladder in 2014, batting .288 in 131 games between the High- and Double-A levels and even receiving a taste of the major leagues during a five-game stint with the Twins. The 21-year-old switch-hitter has an outstanding hit tool, as he consistently makes solid contact and laces line drives from line to line. His short stride and small frame limits his power potential, but Polanco should always be a regular source of doubles and triples. Although he can hold his own at shortstop, Polanco’s arm strength is better suited for second base, where his range plays up." 2015 Assignment: Jorge Polanco will begin the season with Chattanooga.

Per bleacherreport. Can't link now.

Jorge Polanco

Go Twins (assuming they play.) Gibson better pitch at least 6 innings, and I have a feeling Perkins will pitch no matter what, unless were down 11-0 again.

Hopefully I get polanco

Twins won't be playing tomorrow. 95% chance of rain.
