BRIAN DOZIER RUMORS & GOSSIP
Introducing Pitching Independent Defense (Part 1)
[SUPER MATH NERD ALERT}
I’ve been wrestling with an idea for a while, and I finally sorted something out today.

Twins Wednesday: Dozier intriguing at leadoff
MINNEAPOLIS Lost in the shuffle of Joe Mauer's four-hit night on Tuesday was the performance of the guy hitting ahead of him in the Twins' lineup.
Second baseman Brian Dozier led off against the Angels, his first career start as Minnesota's leadoff man. His 2-for-4 night was enough to convince manager Ron Gardenhire to put Dozier back in the leadoff spot for the second...

Dozier's 10th-inning decision proves costly
MINNEAPOLIS A lot went through Twins shortstop Brian Dozier's mind as he fielded a slow roller off the bat of Rays third baseman Jeff Keppinger in the 10th inning Sunday.
With the bases loaded and one out, Dozier had options -- and a choice to make. He could have tried for the force out at home for the second out with speedy Desmond Jennings at third. He could have tried to...

Ball makes U-turn from foul to fair on Brian Dozier’s incredible infield hit (Video)
Your browser does not support iframes.
If there is such a thing as a magic ball, Twins shortstop Brian Dozier hit one on Saturday afternoon. Dozier’s single in the bottom of the fifth drove in a run and gave the Twins a 3-0 lead. It wasn’t your average single, however. The hit was an infield single. In fact, it was hardly your average infield single. As you can see from the video...

Dozier off to good start in major league debut
MINNEAPOLIS Twins shortstop Brian Dozier played well enough in spring training to perhaps warrant a shot at the majors out of camp. Still, he said before spring was over that he expected to start the year in the minor leagues.
That's exactly how it played out. But when Dozier was assigned to Triple-A Rochester to start the season, he used that as motivation instead of getting...
