Hitting second for the first time this spring, Joe Mauer went 1-for-4 on Wednesday.
Mauer makes ton of sense as a No. 2 hitter, especially on the Twins team, but neither he nor manager Ron Gardenhire has ever entirely bought into the idea. Maybe the prospect of Kurt Suzuki hitting ahead of him has scared Mauer straight. If so, it'd be good news for his fantasy value. He's not going to be a big RBI guy as a No. 3 hitter anyway, and he'd score a bunch more runs hitting second.
