two and done?

Minnesota Twins third baseman Matt Tolbert’s first postseason as a major leaguer may have been short and not so sweet. The former Ole Miss star started Games 1 and 2 of the American League Division Series against New York but left Friday night’s game with a strained oblique in his left side. He may be done, regardless of how much farther the Twins go. And down 2-0 to the Yankees, that likely isn’t far. Tolbert, who spent most of the season in the minors, played a key role for Minnesota down the stretch, hitting .333 the last 21 games and playing good defense at what had been a problem position for the club. At least he’ll go to spring training with some credentials for more regular duty in 2010.
