Outfielders
LF - Alex Romero - 40 games / .235 BA / 0 HR / 16 RBI
CF - Andres Torres - 86 games / .244 BA / 2 HR / 22 RBI
RF - Kevin West - 52 games / .223 BA / 8 HR / 31 RBI
OF - Quinton McCracken - 5 games / .267 BA / 0 HR / 1 RBI

Alex Romero started 12 games in LF and 2 in RF. His batting average went up by 40 points, and he picked up 7 RBI's.

Andres Torres started 14 games in CF. His batting average fell by 13 points, but he picked up 3 RBI's.

Kevin West started 12 games in RF and 2 at DH. His batting average rose by 9 points, and he hit 3 HR's with 9 RBI's. Very nice week for West, who maybe is starting to pick it up with the bat again, something the Twins have been hoping for since he returned from an injury.

Quinton McCracken, former Twin, was signed by the team to alleviate the problem of having too few outfielders with the team. He made 3 starts in LF and 1 in CF, hitting reasonably well. He's not going to blow anybody away, but he's really just insurance against further injuries anyway.
