sorry..cant get too excited about a player that only hits .250 in A ball...get back to us in 4 years or so and see how he progresses.. he may or may not pan out... may be a useful average MLBer.. we need All Star caliber players...time will tell if he is that

agreed ..1st ballot... if they just elected Scott Rolen in ..Joe Mauer is a shoe in

i'll take 3 guys hitting .300 in my lineup everyday over guys hitting .240 and hitting 25 HR's and K'ing over 30% of the time.. thats what is so sickening to watch in todays game..all the players in lineups that K over 30% of the time. Do Not trade Arraes unless its for a proven # 1 starter..and no team will give up that. Kepler and Martin would be an even trade for Lopez

i hope you're right..but superstars dont hit .270 in low Ball.. they tear it up at each level

all the attention to a guy thats only hitting .272 at A Ball (Rodriquez)??? Get back to us when you see a true star....power and average. we need All Star caliber player(s) hitting close to .300..and not K-ing over 25% of the time..we need more Arraez..he is the # 1 asset on the team right now.

looks like candidate to replace Polanco in a couple years....pair him w Brooks Lee..whom i see on a very fast track to Majors.. Miranda, Julien, Lee, Lewis, Wallner, etc ..hopefully these youngsters can come up quick and hit for some power, Avg, and not K over 25% of the time

awesome ..thanks... i knew they were pretty pathetic...last night..leadoff man on 2nd .....next guy up - K.. couldnt even move him over..seems like its been this way all year

injuries were biggest factor..But, i believe Twins brass and all of us over rate the hitting of the Twins. Kepler , Polanco, Buxton, Jeffers, Sanchez,....you are just not going to win with sub .225 hitters making up most of your lineup. Arraez is special...Correa hasnt had a great year... Miranda, Gordon and Urshela were pleasant surprises. I'd luv to see a stat showing what twins batting avg is with runner in scoring position and no outs.. very sad batting with RISP.

i wouldnt want those 3 hits on my highlight reel....all three were weak hit balls.. but, looks like this kid has a bright future..Twins need it..hitting talent is very very over rated..Arraez and Miranda are real deals....after that just very avg MLers

just luv to watch this guy hit...great hitter and so refreshing to watch in these days of K, K,K,K,K.. games are so hard to watch

thank you ..they had Strahm listed as a righty and i was going nuts on Baldelli.

i was only following this game on gamecast on MLB..why did Baldelli pinch hit Garlick against a righty for Gordon. Gordon has been hitting very well lately..and Garlick was brought back to hit against lefties????? of course Garlick looked at strike 3.

according to the rules both runners should be safe in the Twins and Pirates games..both catchers were straddling the plate prior to the ball getting there..just what the rule is for

hated to lose Steer ..and Strand....but, all others wont matter one bit. Glad we didnt have to part with Miranda, Kiriloff, Wallner or Lewis. We now have a pretty good top 3 rotation and a bonifide closer. and i'd trust Fullmer over Duffy and Jax. Over all , id give the trade deadline deals an A
