Even with that overall success taken into consideration, and ultimately the main focus for any player on the team, Twins first baseman Justin Morneau expressed disappointment in the team failing to move the outfield fences in at Target Field to create a more beneficial hitting situation. This comment from the perennial Most Valuable Player candidate came after the Twins announced $4 million to $6 million in Target Field improvements, but didn't adjust the concerns about the fences. "Right-center to left-center is ridiculous," Morneau said in an e-mail to the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "[It's] almost impossible for a right-handed hitter to [homer to the] opposite field, and very difficult for lefties. "It affects the hitters a lot, and you start to develop bad habits as a hitter when you feel like you can only pull the ball to hit it over the fence. You take those habits on the road." Fifty-two home runs were hit by the Twins at Target Field, while 90 were hit away from home. Minnesota pitchers gave up 64 home runs at home and 91 on the road. Twins president Dave St. Peter addressed Morneau's concerns about the fences. "We had a lot of discussions in the clubhouse with the manager and general manager," St. Peter said. "But right now, there is no plan to alter the dimensions." -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.24.10.227
