Newsbreakers
August 1, 2008
Craig Monroe is going to be designated for assignment today by the Minnesota Twins, according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune.

Our View:Monroe has a batting average of .202 and an on-base percentage of .274. Really, no further explanation should be necessary.
July 1, 2008
The Minnesota Twins had more than enought offense flowing tonight, but the Tigers gave chase and made it interesting with the Twins emerging 6-4. The charge was led by designated hitter Craig Monroe , going 2-for-3 with one walk and his eighth homer of the season to total three RBIs and one run scored.

Our View:Monroe suffered through an injury-plagued and frustrating month of June, hitting just .125 with two home runs and five RBIs. The hope is to get back on track and tonight gets him moving in the right direction.
June 26, 2008
Craig Monroe has been working on his timing at the plate and chief among those changes is the elimination of his exaggerated leg kick so that he can be more consistent with inconsistent levels of playing time, according to MLB.com. "I'm starting to get comfortable because I'm doing it every day in batting practice and in the cage," Monroe said. "I'm feeling like I don't have to have this high leg kick with all the movement to generate the power that I have. I'm trying to keep it simple."

Our View:For a player who isn't in the lineup every day, it only makes sense for him to simplify his approach at the plate. Perhaps eliminating the league kick will also help him to cut down the strikeouts since 30.4% of all of his at-bats have ended in a whiff.
June 20, 2008
Craig Monroe went deep for the sixth time this season with a two run shot off of Randy Johnson on Friday night.

Our View:Monroe is hitting a poor .211, but he continues to display a solid power bat. However, with 38 K and just 10 walks, his plate discipline is so poor that it's hard to say that he doesn't deserve that low batting average.
May 15, 2008
Craig Monroe got the start in center field today, as Carlos Gomez has been scratched due to the flu, according to MLB.com. Jason Kubel is serving as the DH.

Our View:Monroe is playing favorably this season, as he holds a .270 average over 24 games, with four homers and 15 RBI. He doesn't have any stolen bases, and the team will miss Gomez's speed on the basepaths today, but they will still be in good hands with Monroe taking his place.
