Justin Morneau who has been on the disabled list since June 9, will complete a rehab assignment at Triple-A Rochester today and will be activated in time for a weekend series with the Indians. The problem is this season is likely already over for the Twins. They currently sit 9 1/2 games behind in the AL Central, and that is just too much to overcome this late in the season.
Here's an amazing stat that La Velle Neal of the Star Tribune pointed out... "Morneau and Mauer have played only nine games together since July 7, 2010". I'll give the Twins a buy for this year, it seemed like everyone on their team went down with an injury. Yet, I still have serious questions about this team's future. Liriano sucks and I don't think he will ever be the pitcher we once thought he was. Mauer seems to be hated by his team and he can't stay on the field. You never know what you are going to get from Delmon Young. Morneau never plays. So, there seems to be a lot of questions. Maybe they will stay healthy and be a good team next year, but I could also see them being once again on the bottom of the barrel just as easy.
