Let s see what he s got left. There s no obvious replacement for Flash if he implodes, so tread carefully if your in a league where you can t dump a chump. He s worth a late round pick or cheap investment - but don t count on a full season. So far so good. The O s would be wise to park his recovering arthritic right hip in the DH slot.
Power hitters utilize their hips a great deal to generate their bat speed.
It could take him awhile to build back his strength. Don t expect too much early in the season. Sounds like he s fallen into the mop-up role. It s always dangerous to depend on a young Twin due to Kelly s ever-changing moods. He may even require surgery down the road.
