Ok, Morneau is .063/.318/.250 with RISP, but Mauer is .389/.450/.667 with RISP. Cannot ask for much more...

BB/9, HR/9, and BABIP are pretty significant though. The guy was extremely unfortunate to have that Rochester defense behind him. I think he will continue to improve this year and become a real option at the bottom of the rotation, and certainly better than they other options.

Mauer may have good number but we have lost two games because of his inability to drive a runner in from third with less than two outs late in games. I may be knit picking there I just expect Hume to come through in that situation every time.
