There's no way this is going to end well for me. But having legit MASHER(s) for the first time since the Morneau/Thome days makes Mauer's value so much more obvious. Once Buxton remembers that he can hit, the speed/OBA/power they show has a chance to be beautiful to watch.

I shouldn't get too excited.

But, perhaps relevantly, Jose Berrios is totally unsurprisingly hurting everybody's feelings at AAA and is about to make the Twins look like greedy assholes for not calling him up. And Alex Meyer is throwing strikes as a starter.
