Mauer will hit in the No. 3 spot in the batting order this season despite manager Paul Molitor experimenting with Mauer in the No. 2 spot this spring, the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Mauer is healthy this spring and has had a normal offseason after he was limited by concussion issues last winter. He's hitting just .237 with a home run this spring. While spring stats don't mean much for a veteran with a set starting job, his spring hasn't added much to the idea he'll bounce back from the worst season of his career at the plate.
