The Twins have so many problems that discussing any one of them results in a "but if the Twins had a (fill in the blank) things would be different comment. And that's true. But each part of the game should stand on its own. I am not sure why anyone thought that this was going to be an explosive offense? I can see die hard fans, but the FO? They had not intention of Buxton leading off, so they still had no leadoff hitter, no true 3 hitter, and Sano was moved to RF, and does not appear to be ecstatic over the idea. Park was, and still is a roll of the dice. Currently he seems in either a large slump, or they have started to figure him out. I think he is an extreme guess hitter at this time. Enough has been said about Dozier, but the sum of it is the BD that existed in the first halves of the last two years is not coming back. And while I am a big Mauer fan, I fear he isn't either. The only one close to consistency is Plouffe. (Jeez Louise) and that explains the offense in a nutshell. If Trevor Plouffe is your cleanup hitter, your lineup is in serious trouble. When you take over beloved veterans and pair them with on the job training rookies, and add a SO prone 29 year old, what exactly did anyone expect. A lineup like Torontos could carry a couple hitters learning their craft, expecting the veterans on this one to, is a fools errand.
