Kaelen Culpepper since being called up by MIN: 15 games, 59 PAs, .333 BA, 2 HRs, .854 OPS, 140 wRC+, 0.5 fWAR
Another rookie that is playing well right out of the gate in 2026. These rookies are ready earlier than in past years. Happy for Minnesota
Appreciate it!
And they still haven’t brought HIM up yet
aaron sabato
Shhh
is sabato about to break the majors? remember he was very good at UNC but haven’t heard much about him since
Probably not, but he’s having a good year at AAA after playing like a non-prospect for several seasons. Could maybe be protected from Rule 5 this off-season if Twins don’t want to lose him to minor league free agency
Only would be to platoon against lefties. Since it hasn’t happened yet, probably not going to (at least this season).
Don’t remind us
I really thought Kaelen was related to Daunte at first.
I will choose to ignore this and believe he does
I just like saying the name Culpepper
He makes me feel happy inside
I hope the Central gets more competitive. I remember I think in like 2006-2014 there always seemed to be 3 teams at minimum fight for a wild card and the division. If I recall correctly didn’t you guys catch Detroit in 2006 and 2009 with Mauer and Morneau?
The issue was that if it was the Twins, they lost to the Yankees
If it was the Tigers, they beat the Yankees
Yes, unfortunately. 2006 (Derek Jeter literally had an MVP case and Verlander/Kenny Rogers dominated us. Then in 2012 ALCS Jeter fractured his ankle in Game 1 which didn’t help us at all)
The twins won the central in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2006, 2009, and 2010. Crazy they cancelled the playoffs all those years
he just had a 4 hit game the other day. looks like he’s gonna be good.
Minnesota just out there making legendary Culpeppers
Cool
He’s been our best hitter outside of maybe Keaschall, who’s also young (24). Josh Bell has played well recently but out other veterans (Buxton, Royce, Larnach) have been pretty terrible over the last 10 games. Buxton just got injured AGAIN last night so he’s probably done for the year. Kaelen has been amazing though - he had a 4 hit game 2 nights ago, a 3 hit game earlier, and a 7 game hit streak.
He’s that dude
Best Culpepper in Minnesota sports history, many people are saying this
Have they picked a peck of peppers yet…or does Minnesota need one more?
EMAW!
KC dominance!
And yet nobody wants my bowman chromes
Dude I LITERALLY came here to post this. It’s insane.
