Jason Kanzler is a dirty dirty thief... And Fort Meyers could not be happier.
Kanzler is making the most of Minnesota's minor league injury issues. The second year pro batted 294 this week and sole five bases, only striking out four times. He had five hits, 2 RBI's, and three walks.

The twins have had a few top prospects injured this year, in particular their center field Byron Buxton. This could be an opening for Kanzler to make the leap to AA and the New Britain Rock Cats.

Tyler Mauter had a pretty forgettable week. 19 at bats and no hits. He had just three walks and did manage an RBI but the rookie was kept hitless against four different opponents through six games.
