Mr forgotten deserves a thread.
The guy I think most fans forget about is Max Kepler. Hit 17 HRs last year. He is only 23. I love the kid and he gets forgotten about behind Buxton and Sanos. Hoping he takes the next step.
Kepler Thread
Re: Kepler Thread
Yeah inwas going to mention him in the Dozier thread when you talked about hitting. This team COULD be devastating at the plate if guys can stay healthy and hit reasonably well.
Dozier
Polonco
Mauer
Sano
Kepler
Buxton
Grossman or Eddie
DH (lots of options)
Possibly a bit of a platoon at catcher that might not make it a bad spot.
There are a lot of young players in that lineup that could struggle but there is some legit talent there too. Dozier was saying there has been a bit of a AirPrint amount of optimism at the events he has been too but it makes a little bit of sense. When the Twins had a decent run it was because they were really hitting. It's honestly hard to imagine the starting pitching being worse that it was last year...it was BRUTAL.
Personally so don't have any expectations I'm just going to enjoy the process. I just want to see some young players play well and the Twins figure out some things going forward. Not all the young players will play well it there could easily be a player or 2 that will surprise as well.
