Meyer goes six innings, with seven strikeouts and just one walk. He did surrender eight hits, including three doubles.

I know it's early, but Levi Michael is 2-2 as DH, with 2 triples in his 2013 debut @ Ft. Myers.

Sano and Buxton just went yard like two minutes apart. I'm guessing they have some back-to-back home runs in their futures.

I don't see Sano and Buxton batting next to each other...but who knows, I don't have enough knowledge of everyone in the Twins system.

 

So somebody give me your 2015 line up for the twins when Buxton arrives. I think Buxton is up mid 2015 so the Twins get 6 1/2 years out of him before FA.

If Buxton develops as it seems he might, he could easily be a #3 hitter, with Sano #4.

 

I don't think that will be in 2015 though.

Buxton and Sano could (should?) both be up in 2015 but they will probably both have some slumps and might not be batting 3/4. It's also possible that buxton bats leadoff out of necessity for a couple of years.

I see Buxton as a leadoff guy at least to start his career. Like Kirby, he could become a #3 hitter, although Buxton has that great speed.

All minor league teams have won/are winning. Lots of highlights. Meyer 6 solid IP, 7 Ks. Buxton HR, SB, now hitting .410, Sano went yard, Baxendale another win (2R in 6 IP), Rosario three hits, Michael two triples. Joe Benson had two hits and four runs scored.

I see Buxton as a leadoff guy at least to start his career. Like Kirby, he could become a #3 hitter, although Buxton has that great speed.

I think it depends on whether he develops 10 HR power or 20 HR power. Regardless if he realizes his potential then the Twins will have a great player regardless of where he bats.

Buxton 2 for 4, HR & Dbl, 4 RBI's. hitting a lousy .410.

Sano 1 for 4, HR, 1 RBI. hitting .377.

Buxton ended 3-5 HR, 2 Doubles, 5 RBIs and a walk...big day!

Crazy! Now hitting .419. Some race horses are "mudders", maybe Buxton is a "cold mudder". Can hardly wait until it warms uo in Iowa!
