I know I will be deluged with, way to early to give up on HIcks...Bah Humbug...Hicks has been given many chances and he is up with the club again, even though he didnt earn it.

 

The one thing that intrigues me about Hicks is he can hit for power..but where did it go?

 

I think it went down the Hitting Coach Hole..meaning the Twins are insisting he be a complete hitter...

 

NOTE to Twins...If he can hit 20 HR's I will live with the 220 average, he is good enough in center field...

 

but the thing is..the Twins are in his head..the only way for him to improve is move to another franchise that

 

does not require him to think..as long as he has to think..No way, Jose...is he gonna play...

 

To further the problem for Hicks...Santana is an adequate CF, Shafer can play there as well..and Buxton hopefully w

 

able to play there sometime who knows when?

 

The Twins youngsters have shown pizzaz and this bodes well for next year..but the real question is...

 

WIll the Twins go Free Agent Pitching again? They will have to..to avoid another 90 loss season.

Huh?

 

I don't think signing more free agent pitching is the key to avoiding another 90 loss season. I'm also not sure what that has to do with Aaron Hicks, who can be a very useful guy even if he never hits 20 home runs in a season. A fast guy who can play solid defense and get on base 34% of the time? That seems like a solid back of the order bat to me. What do you think?

If theres nobody better....but I understand he missed a team bus the other day, a couple games ago he made a critical base running error which Gardy jumped all over him for, they criticized him publicly for lack of attention to the game...I think the writing is on the wall...

 

I assume you believe with me, without better pitching..you have the same result?

 

Where do  you propose getting the pitching from?

Someone else said it on another thread.   I am not writing Hicks off, but I am not banking on him either. 

 

Doesn't seem like he gives a rip, to be honest.  Has to be frustrating for the Twins.  The guy was handed the CF job.  They stuck with him through very bad play.  He is late for things, showed up not knowing who the pitcher was one day, doesn't sound like he watches much tape.
