| Brian Dozier picks great time to hit his first home run |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(5/7/13) Twins second baseman Brian Dozier hit a home run in the ninth inning of Monday's game against the Red Sox.
With the Twins down one, Dozier hit his first home run of the season off Red Sox closer Joel Hanrahan. Dozier sent the game into extras, though his team eventually lost. In 89 at-bats this year, Dozier is hitting .247/.296/.337.

| Brian Dozier comfortable atop lineup |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(4/29/13) Heading into Monday's game against the Tigers, Twins second baseman Brian Dozier has hit safely in seven of his last eight games. He's batting .364 (12 for 33) in that span, raising his batting average from .152 to .258.
Dozier also has one double, one triple, two walks, four RBI and five runs in his last eight games. Dozier's surge has come since he moved from the eighth spot into the lineup into the leadoff spot.

| Brian Dozier stays hot in leadoff spot |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(4/23/13) Twins second baseman Brian Dozier continued his hot streak Tuesday.

| Brian Dozier at home in leadoff spot |
by Nando Di Fino | Senior Fantasy Writer
(4/23/13) After a triple to start the bottom of the first inning Tuesday, Twins second baseman Brian Dozier is now batting .455 as the leadoff hitter this season. Granted, it's still a very small sample size (11 at-bats), but we've seen a move to the leadoff spot pay off for everyone from Shin-Soo Choo to Ian Desmond in the past. It might just be that Dozier has found his niche.
On the surface, you have a player with a .209 average and a couple of triples in 12 games this season. But a deeper look at Dozier reveals a solid minor-league track record and a chance to excel as the leadoff hitter, while sporting dual eligibility (2B and SS) atop a lineup that is somewhat underrated. He's not mixed league relevant yet, but Dozier could make for a nice middle infield option in AL-only formats.

| Brian Dozier gets another chance in leadoff spot Tuesday |
by Chris Cwik | CBSSports.com
(4/23/13) Twins infielder Brian Dozier will hit leadoff against the Royals Tuesday.
Dozier has put up two hits in each of his last two games in the role, and will continue to see time there as long as he produces. If he can remain in the role, Dozier can take advantage of hitting in front of Joe Mauer, Josh Willingham and Justin Morneau. He could score a fair amount of runs with the talent behind him.

| The Twins, feeling the need to make a declaration of some sort after big free agent signing Jamey Carroll flamed out, declared Brian Dozier their starting shortstop in early May last year. He had some measure of upside and was at least something different from the same cast of nobodies they had been running out there. Unfortunately, he wasn't any better. Though his minor-league track record suggested he would at least make consistent contact and get on base -- which is exactly what Jamey Carroll was supposed to do -- he instead struck out every fifth at-bat and hit .234. So the Twins turned to Pedro Florimon in mid-August and never looked back. Florimon, a former Orioles farmhand, is pretty much all glove, so if Dozier shows marked improvement in spring training or at Triple-A Rochester, he could easily reclaim the job. In a best-case scenario, he'll provide double-digit homers and steals, so he's worth a look as a middle infielder in AL-only Rotisserie leagues. (Updated 1/8/13) |
