Dozier and Rest

[Loosey]

I know it's still Spring Training, but I was hoping the Twins were going to maybe not lean on Dozier so much and give him a day off here and there so he doesn't wear out in the 2nd half this season.

 

Maybe it's just me, but he sure seems to be playing A LOT in Florida (Like every game).  So, basically I am wondering if I am just imagining it or is he playing quite a bit for a veteran, especially one who seems to be in regular season form already.  I see he is in the lineup again today.  What is everyone else's thoughts?

 

Maybe I am over-reacting but compared to someone that needs as many as bats as possible (Buxton - Who is out of the lineup today) he sure plays a lot.

He's playing his 17th spring game today...

 

Others: 

 

24 - Mastroianni

22 - Beresford, Arcia

19 - Nunez

18 - Escobar, Park, Santana

17 - Dozier, Rosario, Sano

16 - Buxton, Sweeney, Plouffe

15 - Mauer

 

(includes today's game if they started)

 

He's playing a pretty normal amount. As a leadoff hitter, he's usually out of the games he plays a little earlier than some (just because he gets that 3rd or 4th at bat sooner).
