Joe Mauer (1B, MIN, pictured above) made news by saying in a February 12 interview with twincities.com that he suffered the effects of his 2013 concussions through the 2015 season. In 2013 he had 89 K and 61 BB in 445 total ABs, while between 2014 and 2015 he struck out 115 times and walked 72 times in 418 daytime ABs.
