Seth, what do you think of them toying with Florimon at SS, then moving Dozier to 3rd? I don't care for the idea. Just getting established at SS and bump over?
Of course, the Twins infield is so weak power-wise, what does it matter? What a team they have assembled.
I'd like to see what Florimon does in Rochester for a month (rather than just 4-5 days) to see what they really have on him. Reports are quite good...
Dozier with his 2nd big league HR. ALready 1 more than several guys up lots longer on this sad-sack hitting team.
And equal to Albert Pujols!
Holding his own through 14 games
.279 3 doubles/2HR/8RBI/2BB/11K
Room for improvement, .292 OBP
.426 SLG for a .719 OPS.
.259 2HR/12 RBI. Gotta get the strike zone down,Brian, only 2 BB/19 K. Have faith in you BD, keep working hard.
Since the last post, only 2 more walks 2 more rBI's, and too often playing kick the can on D. Settle Doze.
Has hit safely in 8 of last 10 games.
A pair of 0-4s has dropped the avg back to .236
There is a Nishioka thread up, and it got me thinking that about Dozier struggles. Dozier really isn't hitting any better than Nishioka ever did and he's got 9 errors in a month and a half. He could obviously still use some time at AAA to get everything ironed out too. Dozier isn't close to one of the top 5 problems with the Twins, and there's not exactly anyone at Rochester playing better, but those really aren't the best excuses to keep him around. The Rays just DFAed Drew Sutton.....he's sort of a Luke Hughes-style infielder who has very spotty opportunities the past few years. I think I'd pick him up and send Dozier to AAA. Carroll, Sutton & Casilla can handle the middle infield for a while and we can hope that Sutton will respond to a chance to start the way Plouffe has.
A couple of nice plays this weekend in Cincinnati. Looks like the Twins are going to hang w/Brian for the time being.
5BB/32K, 17 rBI in 43 games. here's to better offensive days ahead.
Heading into the 2nd half
.242 BA 8 doubles/triple/3HR/21RBI
8BB/41K 6-8 stolen bases
.267 OBP
started his demotion 3/43 w/ 2runs scored, 0rbi in his first 12gms (all singles) with 8K 0bb
better news in 2nd game of DH as he looked like Dozier of last yr..... 3-3, double w/bb 4runs rbi
