No they did not.

 

Opening day Twins' batting order and 2016 OBP (rank in parenthesis)

 

 

Dozier .340 (3)
Grossman .386 (1)
Buxton .284 (9)
Mauer .363 (2)
Sano .319 (5)
Castro .307 (7)
Polanco .332 (4)
Kepler .309 (6)
Rosario .295 (8)

 

You cannot bat the guy with the worst OBP third.  He struck out 3 times.  About time they flip Polanco towards the top of the order as well...   Buxton should be batting 8th or 9th

I could have had a lot of respect if the reply would have been Buxton's September was an anomaly and he has not turned the corner in being a top OPS player.

Well it's still very early, but the hitters are still not hitting very well.

Only 5 games so far, but only 3 of our regulars have an OPS+ of 100 or more (Sano, Polanco, Castro). Escobar and Gimenez have been good off the bench.

The other 6 regulars are still struggling at the plate.
