Not a lot of surprises here. Overall the Twins are one of baseball's best offenses, and it's due in large part to (shocker) the performances they're getting from catcher, first base, right field and designated hitter. What is surprising (until you consider how much time Joe Crede has missed) is how low Minnesota ranks at third base. Finally, while Span's OBP has been brilliant, he's also been spread around the outfield.
We'll see you for the final game of the Rangers series tonight. Three in a row!
