In last night's postgame blog, I mentioned Danny Santana's inability to get a bunt down. What I didn't address is if he should have been bunting at all.
If Jordan Schafer is batting, I might bunt. Down two runs, I would let Santana hit. He's one of the Twins' best offensive players right now. I can see the setting up an inning for Dozier, Mauer and others, but I want to see if Santana can clutch up and get a hit.
