  1. Buxton only has 55 AB in AAA. He's going to struggle at the plate. I think they're rushing him to appease the fans. But with Sano lumbering around RF they need his range in CF.
  2. I have a feeling he'll be back at DH before the end of May. I don't think the Korean guy will be able to hit major league pitching. Look for Kepler to be in RF.
  3. Are the Twins actually trying to DO something about the Mauer problem? Have they suggested that maybe he should change his approach? Stop taking that first pitch down the middle? Pull the ball into the huge right-center gap they're giving him? Have they mentioned to him that his production is simply not good enough for a #3 hitter? Maybe this is being done behind the scenes but they really seem to be afraid of addressing the problem. And it IS a problem.
  4. What I noticed about Hicks is that he hit much better when he went to the plate swinging rather than trying to "work the count". He's a terrible two-strike hitter so don't let him get to that point. When he gets a hittable pitch, hit it! It doesn't matter if it's the first pitch or the seventh. Just hit it.
  5. Hicks seems to be a much better hitter when he abandons the "work the count" approach that has infested the game. When you get a hittable pitch, HIT IT! Doesn't matter if it's the first pitch or the 8th. You might only get one hittable pitch per at bat. Don't waste it. Hicks is helpless when he gets two strikes so don't let it get to that point.
