The Minnesota Twins have a problem on their hands when it comes to producing runs and it all comes down to Joe Mauer being in the top of the lineup. Do not get me wrong, Mauer was once a great hitter. He was part of a dangerous team featuring the M & M boys (Mauer and Morneau).
However, Justin Morneau has not played for the Twins since 2013 and was not the same player after a concussion in the middle of the 2010 season. Mauer began playing first base in order to prolong his career and to give Morneau off days.
