If la Tortuga would play more, you would have a new leader. 53 plate appearances with 1 K, last year 3 Ks in 97 PA's. Unfortunately he doesn't walk either-- he walked twice last year and once this season thus far. An absolute joy to watch play, and has already had a night named for him this season. He should be coming back from a tweaked hammy soon, but the Twins can't seem to get him in the lineup.
