Description: Brian Dozier will be the starting shortstop in Minnesota going forward, manager Ron Gardenhire said. | Insight: Dozier was hitting .276 with one homer and 12 RBIs at Triple-A when he was called up. He hit .320 with 24 steals in 2011, but he only had two steals in 28 games this year. MLB.com ranked him as the 14th prospect in the Twins organization before this season, so he's not exactly a top draft pick who sped through the minors. He only has value in AL-only leagues. | | |
