I chuckled. Seriously, if 9 and 1 aren't getting on base, then wouldn't it make more sense to bat Mauer leading off? Either way he will have limited RBI opportunities, but then you get a 1) a few more ABs from him and 2) a guy on base for the 2-4 hitters. Try: Mauer, Dozier, Morneau, Hammer*, Arcia, Doumit, whatever... *When healthy again.
