There's hope the Minnesota Twins will soon return to full strength with Jorge Polanco, Alex Kirilloff, and Joey Gallo on the mend. Royce Lewis is also tracking for a mid-summer return, providing a potential spark in the heart of the schedule. What is the Twins' ideal lineup as Polanco and Kirilloff return? Where's the best spot for Carlos Correa? Byron Buxton? Should Max Kepler start over Trevor Larnach? Let's break it down.

    Not a bad line-up!

    Just don’t see it as being realistic with our probable 26 Man Roster. 13 pitchers, a given.

    If Polanco & Kiriloff come back, somebody (2 guys) needs to go down.

    Solano, somewhat surprisingly, has cemented a spot at 1B v. LH pitching, plus a little DH/Pinch hitter.

    Farmer - Gordon - Jeffers - Solano - Kepler - Taylor

    Your OF - Larnach, Buxton, & Gallo

    Your DH - Julien

    Your IF - Vazquez, Miranda, CC, Polanco, & AK

    Our roster needs to have 2 less guys! Unless we decide to outright release Kepler, the OF is crowded.

    Julien is sent down for sure - then a tough decision needs to take place if everyone is healthy.

    Forgot my line-up v. RH pitching:

    1. Gordon - CF

    2. Polanco - 2B

    3. Correa - SS

    4. Larnach - DH

    5. Kiriloff - 1B

    6. Miranda -3B

    7. Gallo - LF

    8. Vazquez - C

    9. Kepler - RF

    Not sure, w/o injuries to somebody, Larnach & Kiriloff can be rostered at same time?
