He should be coming back from a tweaked hammy soon, but the Twins can't seem to get him in the lineup.

Nellie didn’t walk much either. He was just too good at making contact. I really think the 99 mph fastballs coupled with the launch angle (uppercut) philosophy and swinging for the fences is responsible for the escalation of strikeouts. I think Nellie would be just fine if he were playing today and wouldn’t have to change a thing.
