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

as long as this doesnt mess with Arraez being in the lineup 9 out of 10 games- no matter if its a lefty or righty starting. this team goes as he goes. I think this is a big mistake...i feel Urshela has played very well....and Miranda needs his AB's..ditto for Kiriloff. Baldelli has to figure out a way to keep these 4 playing...and i'll be screaming the 1st game Sano k's 3 out of 4 times.

umpire should be reading the pitch as it passes the plate..not once it hits the glove..Sooo, how can "framing" influence an umpire....hmmmmm...SMH

send them Larnach

my God...not even close.....Urshela over Sano by a landslide. Urshela has played GREAT this year..and it seems no one is noticing. Arraez has been our MVP...Correa and Buxton following ( and just my opinion ..no one hitting .218 should ever make an All star team ). There is no room for Sano this year with Kiriloff and Miranda picking it up...and Polanco back. Dont need a DH striking out 3 of 4 times per game..no thank you

agreed ..this cant be the B lineup..this , to me, is a game you go all out to win..not just be happy with a series win.

we will just have to agree to disagree....i've seen him throw..i'm looking for relievers that fool hitters...and miss bats ..maybe i'm wrong ..but i just dont see this in Him..

thanks for the data... i dont get to see many games...just remember watching Jax as a starter..I just like to see flame throwing relievers that miss bats..Jax certainly is not that. Top teams have Bullpen guys that miss bats...at least they have no problem when playing us !! HaHa

I just dont know how Jax is doing it...Does not have great stuff..reminds me of Stashak...once he's seen a few times he's gonna get blasted... I have zero trust in any of our Bullpen..maybe Duran..a little bit..no lead is ever safe when we go to the pen

so true ..Twins just cant develop pitching.. they may get 3/4 caliber starters and spotty relievers...but never an Ace or shut down closer

so confused on all the bashing of Ursela... along with Arraez he has been one of our top players this year. very nice addition this year id say. I do agree Miranda should be DH more often than Sanchez. Still sick of watching this entire lineup K so often
