Batting order?

[KingFish]

I'm hearing that Hunter and Koskie may be switching slots in the order at this point.

SS Cristian Guzman
2B Luis Rivas
1B Doug Mientkiewicz
3B Corey Koskie
DH David Ortiz
CF Torii Hunter
LF Jacques Jones
C A.J. Pierzynski
RF Bobby Kielty

Guzman doesn't want to lead off, so I think you'll see both Rivas and Jacque Jones get looks up front. Gardenhire likes Rivas.
The Hunter/ Koskie deal will depend on a lefty or righty starter for the other team.

1-Jones/ Rivas
2-Guzman
3-Mientkiewicz
4-Ortiz
5-Hunter/Koskie
6-Koskie/Hunter
7a - Jones - if Rivas is leadoff
7bBuchanen/Cuddyer = so far the front runners
8- AJ
9- Rivas - if Jones is leadoff

Kielty will need a great ST to win the regular job. He will make the team as a backup, though, unless he falls flat. The Twins like the fact that he can play all three OF positions and that he's a switch-hitter.

This is just the stuff I've heard so far

Win Twins!!
