Mauer Power

Earvin Santana, the Twins most recent starting pitching acquisition has been having a very good spring. He had another good outing yesterday. And Joe Mauer's power hitting hints from Bruno seem to be paying off as well. He hit his first homerun of the spring.

Mauer's biggest downfall last season was that teams have been making dramatic defensive shifts when he hits. Bruno's answer? Hit it where they ain't. Nobody's shift will work if you hit it out of the park.

Could Mauer become a pull hitter with power? Time will tell.
