The team would not activate him if the expectation was for him to DH, in fact they were quite concerned about the sudden stops and rounding the bases involved in baserunning. He may DH tonight if the field is wet, otherwise I fully expect he will be in CF 2/3 or 3/4 depending on series length.

Jeff Reardon was the closer on the 1987 WS Champion team, had an ERA of 4.48 and allowed 14 HR to go with his 31 saves.

Bell and Lewis are two of the teams better hitters, plus Garver and Buxton DH occasionally... so no

Almost like they are fighting for a roster spot. Crazy...

Don't give TD posters any ideas, I see Miles Mikolas name on this list, somebody will right an article or blog post on why the Twins should sign him....

Think any other BP coaches play catch with their pitchers besides Hawkins...

Jeffers was drafted in 2018, with the exception of a couple of rehab assignments, Garver was not in MiLB after his callup in 2017...

First one to #100....

If a team is counting on Mitch Garver to be their C, they are in bigger trouble than they realize...

Concussion protocol for Caratini....put on the tools of ignorance Mr. Jackson.....

Bell's at 99....

Still with the Jackson talk....

Some ugly swings (including bunt attempts)....
