Arcia is hitting .308/.349/.487 for the Red Wings, but the Twins front office told reporters that's not good enough:
Needs to show more consistency. Still lotta Ks RT @jdotmcmahon: @MikeBerardino Any explanation at all for the Arcia demotion???

Just relaying what Gardy said. RT @rlien33: @MikeBerardino @jdotmcmahon that's silly, those will always be there

Rob Antony on Arcia: "He's not on top of his game offensively."

OK, he struck out in about a fourth of his Triple A at-bats entering Wednesday's play. Jason Kubel has struck out in more than a third of his at-bats this season, and the rate is getting worse as time goes on.
Every at-bat Kubel gets in the majors while a healthy Arcia rakes in Triple A is an affront to the future of this team. And to the fans who aren't so enamoured with the nostalgic approach to the roster.
Sounds like the organization wants to make Arcia more accountable. A laudable goal. Kubel is not the future of the team.
