As opposed to Plouffe, Tolbert, and Harris who are crushing the ball all over AMIRITE?
He's batting near .300, which is what is important. Granted, a bunch of his hits were IF hits, but a baserunner is a baserunner.
IIRC, he was outstanding in spring training, and Gardy even said he didn't want to send him down to start the season. I think the Twins feel like he could be the future at 3B for us, so lets let him get some AB there when nobody else seems to be able to produce.
