It's hard to imagine a brilliant renaissance at 35 years old, but Shin-Soo Choo provides some experience and smart value with his eyes and innate on-base ability. And as long as Texas's Bibens-Dirkx pitches even half as good as he's capable of - it's possible, this gets ugly fast. With the strong swinging benefits of Nomar Mazara - Texas should be ready to roll.
Minnesota should have plenty of opportunity to drown their lousy batting numbers, and don't expect a return to good levels, as their plate patience has struggled badly since early July. Pitchers are obviously figuring Miguel Sano out - and will keep sitting him down even more frequently, than they have been. Bibens-Dirkx will do just that vs the 24 year old batter.
Minnesota does not have one of the better lineups in baseball, with just no guys at a .300 avg. They know that, and on a good day, truthfully, it is decent - and on a bad day it is somewhere around awful and terrible.
Texas is our comp as an underdog here on Thursday.
