Rosario doing his best.

To throw this damn game...outrunning stop signs with zero outs, ignoring cut off men.....jesus dude...

He is an interesting player. He looks like he is a superstar one day and looks like he shouldn't have made it out of rookie ball another.

One thing about Eddie, is hes consistently inconsistent.

He's been the same player since he came up. No patience, No OBP, Terrible D, Dreadful baseball IQ(mostly base running). But hes got pop, he can handle lefties, hes usually pretty damn clutch with runners on base, has a killer arm.

Theres a lot of good and a lot of bad. Thats why with our minor league prospect depth there is no reason to give him any sort of big contact. But on his current deal, hes definitely an asset.

His time as a Twin is coming to a close though

With Kirilloff and Larnach nearly ready for "prime-time", I agree that Eddie's time is almost up.

The Time Has Come to Begin Phasing Out Eddie Rosario - Minnesota Twins - Articles - Homepage

That article sums it up.

Game 2 vs Cards today. 2 on no outs. Rosario up. 1-0 count. 5 straight balls. Swings a ball inside and at his neck. Pop up. Rally killer.

Cards score 5 in the bottom half on.........2 hits.

Kirilloff and Larnach missed some very important "growth" time this season, but they are likely both in St. Paul playing daily against some pretty good pitchers.
