Aaron Hicks hits first spring homer
Aaron Hicks - OF - Minnesota Twins
March 5, 2013 - 2:25 AM ET

Aaron Hicks went 2-for-5 and hit a two-run homer off Jason Motte as part of the Twins' 7-0 win over the Cardinals on Monday.

It's becoming more obvious by the day that the Twins want Hicks in center field, and since he's off to a 7-for-22 start at the plate, he's done nothing to hurt his chances. His fantasy value will hinge on his base stealing; he's unlikely to hit for a strong average or slug many homers as the Twins' probable leadoff man.
