He can be as good as Koskie (who was horrid on the field), and has some power. Actually more power than Cuddyer had. The Twins should not give up on him.<br />I think that the CF will bat lead off, regardless if he is named Mastroianni, Benson on Hicks. And a MIF will bat second. Remember who the manager is... The other MIF will be the number 9 in the order.thrylos98https://www.blogger.com/profile/15729211884114784386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790694040229595303.post-69322075997648157642012-12-24T19:04:36.860-05:002012-12-24T19:04:36.860-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.writerjoelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180966143625215033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8790694040229595303.post-58694167275388802232012-12-24T19:04:31.936-05:002012-12-24T19:04:31.936-05:00The ;pain is that there is really no one who hits ...The ;pain is that there is really no one who hits as many homers, and they all bat about the same. if you want to improve defense, then you have the weakest infield in the majors for offense, heaven forbid if you would flip Morneau and replace him with Parmelee. Plouffe, if he hits 20-25 homers and bats .230 is servicable, for now. But the flipside is the Twins 2013 lineup construction. Who bats 1-2, who follows whom, how weak is 8-9 in the batting order. writerjoelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08180966143625215033noreply@blogger.com
