I don't believe he has to be a .260 hitter. I think he is capable of being a .300, 20HR 100rbi with a slight adjustment in approach.

2 seasons that he has had 85 or more rbis, can't call that "usually". IMO he is one of the best hitters in baseball, but he does not drive in enough runs or hit for enough power for this team. I...

And his unwillingness to take an aggressive swing when the count is squarely in his favor accounts for the fact that he only has 60 some rbis in spite of these impressive numbers with RISP. He is an...

Our # 3 hitter has 60 some RBIs. I want more than that from my #3 hitter. IMO he needs to look to drive the ball more in those favorable count situations. He is an incredible hitter, but with room...

How do you know "they certainly could have tried harder on Blackburn, and especially Liriano?" Do you sit in their offseason meetings? Hind sight is always 20-20. It was not unreasonable to think...

I wonder if they are considering using Mauer in RF on the days he doesn't catch? A lot may depend of how Parmelee handles things at 1B. Ultimately, I am in agreement with their best outfield being...
