Saturday's Twins lineup had Nick Punto batting leadoff, and Shannon Stewart in the 3-hole. Mauer hit 4th.
That's kind of a big deal.
I'm not sure if I like it, but I guess I kinda do.
Stewart's been a bit overrated at the top, as his OBP and steals are down to career low levels.
But he's still hitting well, so a move to 3 might be a good idea.
Even though he's hitting over .300, Mauer has only 32 RBIs, not enough.
Lew Ford is not a No. 3 hitter. In fact, Matt LeCroy could be the everyday DH right now and I'd have no problem with that.
I also think Punto can be a good leadoff guy. He almost always has good At-Bats.
At least, it would seem, Gardy is finally willing to do more to shake things up than move Cuddyer to second.
