Especially with a lockout-shortened Spring Training, this was crucial as it allowed for Twins starting pitchers to have a reasonable ramp-up period.

Their performance is off to a cold start in April.

Through 15 games, San&#xF3; has just five hits and an abysmal OPS of .380. San&#xF3; has just one extra-base hit and has statistically been the least valuable player in baseball in this early season with an fWAR of -.07.

In 134 games, he hit .252/.336/.519 (.855) with 32 doubles and 36 home runs. Obviously, the baseballs used that season have come under question, which is undoubtedly the case with Kepler.
