And one more since you ask - .243/.354/.439 (.794 OPS) Since June 10 also, player who never played at the MLB level for the Twins but who many on TD thinks should be here (he would be stuck in St. Paul, passed over several times).
Per Baseball-Reference, a couple of slash lines since June 10th:
Player A - .354/.422/.582 (1.005 OPS)
Player B - .336/.387/.412 (.800 OPS)
One of them is finding a hard time cracking a very anemic offense while the other one is a point of dissension amongst TD fans.
TD is not the only fan site asking this question:

I did not say this lost the game. Jeffers was down 0-2 in the count and should have tried to foul it off. I just said that it was not called a strike all game.
Buxton's last 30 games : 14-102 w/42 K's. Slash line of .137/.202/.314.
Buxton's last 7 games : 1-29 w/15 K's. Slash line of .034/.065/.034, including 0 for his last 22.
Baseball Savant showed it was off the plate, outside. First outside pitch called a strike all night, and with Jeffers being the catcher all night, he knew this. Bad call.
Neither does sitting on the bench or toiling in the minors night after night.
Every rookie unknown that became a good ball player was given the chance do show it.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing time after time (running Kepler and Gallo out there every night) and expecting different results.
Hopes and wishes don't win MLB games.
So you are saying Wallner is being given an opportunity right now? His talent is as good as Gallo, Kepler or Buxton right now. Larnach's talent is at least as good as 3 of the 4 right now. So I call BS on this comment.
