Harper is a guy you just don't pitch to in that situation. If he gets put on first, that's fine. Just don't give him something to hit!

Hopefully they can figure it out.

I think that's more for Buxton. Kepler only got 12 ABs and sporadic PT was only up because of injuries anyways.

Buxton looks atrocious, simply awful. You can't strike out at obnoxious levels as a speed guy. Just bad

The Twins will call up top pitching prospect Jose Berrios to make his major league debut on Wednesday against Cleveland.

Also, the Twins are going to call infielder Jorge Polanco back from Rochester , and indications are that Ervin Santana will be placed on the disabled list with a strained back.

Berrios, a righthander, is 2-0 with a 1.06 ERA through three outings for Class AAA Rochester, continuing a his dominance there since he promoted from Class AA Chattanooga in the middle of last season.

The move suggests something is wrong with righthander Kyle Gibson, who struggled on Friday against Washington. There have been no indications that Gibson is injured, but the coaching staff was concerned about his results following his most recent start..

Berrios, 21, was the 32nd overall pick in 2012 out of Papa Juan High School in Bayamon, PR. He was ranked as the 26th best prospect this season by ESPN, and is considered the Twins next best prospect after outfielder Byron Buxton.

Buxton, after struggling through the first three weeks of the season, was sent down to Rochester on Monday.

Wooohooo. Now lets keep Berrios and DUffey in this rotation.

Gibson is the pitching version of Dozier(even similar age/experience). Show flashes of greatness but just simply refuse to get better at what you suck at. It's so frustrating watching him pitch, even more so than when Liriano was here. Dude just doesnt understand that his stuff is tough to square up if he just throws fucking strikes.

Can't even compare him to Liriano, considering he was SOOOOOO dominant until his injury. It took him a few years to get fully back.

Liriano was with us for many years lol. He was back from injury just erratic. Pirates had the coaches to really reel him in though. But like I said, Gibson is even more frustrating especially since he doesn't have nearly as much swing and miss stuff and still is wild as hell.

Nothing pisses me off more then Dick and Bert every start saying "Man, Gibson is usually known for his control". Forget the fact that's been wrong if they just watched any season, but considering they say that now every start is hilarious. Like guys, last week you said his control sucks, now this week you say the same thing and your surprised? Lol

Agreed and when he does put the ball in play it's a lazy fly ball, that is just never gonna work for him.

Hopefully the rain holds off for Berrios to get a full start.
