Top 11 Players Who Would Make A Better Number 2 Hitter than Alexi Casilla

I am starting to get more than a little peaved with Minnesota Twins manager Ron Gardenhire’s insistence on batting the inept Alexi Casilla (.169 Avg. 8 Runs 5 RBIs) in the number two spot. In order to help the Twins out, I offer the top 11 players who would make a better number 2 hitter than Casilla:

11. Mario Mendoza (career .215 Avg.)

10. Nick Punto (.201 26 Runs 16 RBIs)

9. Toby Gardenhire (.257 15 Runs 13 RBIs in AA ball)

8. Jose Morales (.343 10 Runs 4 RBIs)

7. Brian Buscher (.210 8 Runs 9 RBIs)

6. Carlos Zambrano (.238 5 Runs 7 RBIs pitching for the Cubs)

5. Joe Crede (.238 33 Runs 40 RBIs)

4. Delmon Young (.266 20 Runs 25 RBIs)

3. Carlos Gomez (.242 28 Runs 20 RBIs and playing much better lately)

2. Brendan Harris (.274 31 Runs 26 RBIs)

1. Freddy Sanchez (.318 42 Runs 38 RBIs with Pittsburgh)
