I like the defense AND offense of Sano (3b)/Kepler (rf) more than the current lineup of Pl;ouffe (3b)/ Sano (rf)

 

If and/or when TR gets what he deems to be fair (or close to fair) value for Plouffe, I believe we will see the former.  Just a matter of time.

Nick, to your point later in your article when we traded Hermann for Palka, I thought we actually got something back for Hermann? Then I saw his A ball numbers and I thought, ok what is wrong with this guy...this seems to be a bit much.

 

Anything we get from this guy is gravy, and was an astute move by the Twins FO. Hopefully they start this kid out at AA (which I doubt).

Palka is 24; yes, hope he gets placed at AA - at minimum. Kid does not get cheated on his swings. Ball really comes off of his bat well. Hoping for big things from him.
