Where's the power for Justin Morneau?
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer

Having gone 23 for 63 (.365) over his previous 16 games, Justin Morneau's season batting average is up to .296 -- an encouraging sign after the Twins first baseman hit a combined .254 in his previous two seasons.

But he has only one home run during that stretch and only two all season. It's not like he was going Adam Dunn on the world in 2011 and 2012. His power numbers weren't where Fantasy owners were used to seeing them either. So even though he appears to be hitting better, we're all still left to wonder just what he's capable of doing.

My best guess is that, hot as he is, he's still not much better than the fringe mixed-leaguer we saw last year. He obviously has some power. We saw him hit 19 home runs last year. If he can combine those with his current batting average, yeah, he'll be pretty good. But seeing as he was a .270 hitter even during some of his pre-concussion years, I'm not sure assessing him at the peak of a hot streak is especially wise.

Usual suspects pacing Twins' offense
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com

The Twins have had one of the AL's top offenses in May and it's no surprise the usual suspects are leading the charge. Catcher Joe Mauer rides an 11-game hitting streak into Monday's game against the White Sox, while Justin Morneau has hit safely in 14 of his last 16 games.

Mauer is batting .444 (20 for 45) with five RBI, eight walks, 10 doubles and 11 runs during his hitting streak, and Morneau is batting .339 (21 for 62) with one home run, four doubles, 10 runs and 15 RBI in his last 16 games.

"Joe had his little cold stretch we probably won't see again this year, but is back on fire. And Justin has been staying on the ball really good and putting some really nice swings on it," manager Ron Gardenhire said, per MLB.com. "We know we can score some runs and our offense is starting to click a little bit, and that's fun to watch."

Justin Morneau drives in three runs
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com

Twins first baseman Justin Morneau had two of Minnesota's 20 hits during a 15-8 win at Boston Wednesday.

Morneau's ground-rule double in the first inning off Allen Webster scored the game's first run. He added a sacrifice fly in the second and another in the ninth for three RBI in the game.

Morneau went 2 for 4 with a run scored and is batting .267. He's gone 2 for 4 in two straight games and is working a four-game hitting streak. Morneau has seven RBI in his last four and 21 on the year.
