I don't know if it's the cold weather that is affecting the hitters. Maybe that's it considering lot of teams are scuffling out there.
I know Justin will get it going for sure. Joe will eventually heat up. Micahel Cuddyer is starting to play a lot better. Lew has been a very consistent hitter. That's a good reason to be optimistic. On the other hand, I expected Torii to have a very big year after the postseason he has had. He has not done much at all. That's very dissapointing to me.
It's a good thing the pitchers have carried the Twins overall or they would be in a lot of trouble. I am willing to be patient for two more months, but if I don't see improvements, I am convinced what we see is what we are going to get.
