Fien has been good to us for most of the year. Machado and Davis are on pace for 35-40 homers. It happens.
I agree with the Mauer and Dozier assessment. With guys like Rosario and Hicks helping at the bottom, or even unknown catchers, Minnesota's offense becomes quite decent.
Tommy Milone undefeated in the day, ERA near one.. we might have day playoff pitcher.
Glen Perkins breaks Joe Nathan's consecutive saves record, and tied Eddie Guardado for 4th in total saves. A good day.
The only thing I am 'worried' about right now is our pen... will it be good enough to compete down the stretch?
Actually Fein has been awful lately. Really only Perkins can be rellied on.
Also our offense is still very, very poor. But the issue is the guys to replace can't really be replaced. Out biggest log jam is Of/DH and that's what all our good minors players play.
Rotation and Perkins are studs right now though.
I say Polanco for Santana and Arcia up here to protect Sano. Now you've got a lineup.
