Chart: The Twins' lineup

1. Aaron Hicks, CF

2012: .286, 13 HR, 61 RBI (AA New Britain)

Former first-round pick won chance to replace Denard Span with solid spring.

2. Brian Dozier, 2B

2012: .234, 6 HR, 33 RBI

Move from SS to 2B might help put subpar rookie season behind him.

3. Joe Mauer, C

If he can stay healthy, he'll challenge for a fourth AL batting title.

4. Josh Willingham, LF

2012: .260, 35 HR, 110 RBI

One of baseball's best free-agent pickups in 2012.

5. Justin Morneau, 1B

His contract expires this season, leaving his Twins future in doubt.

6. Ryan Doumit, DH

2012: .275, 18 HR, 75 RBI

Can back up Mauer behind the plate and play several other positions.

7. Chris Parmelee, RF

Gets his first shot at starting in the majors after utility duty last season.

8. Trevor Plouffe, 3B

2012: .235, 24 HR, 55 RBI

Good power numbers a year ago, but needs to be consistent on defense.

9. Pedro Florimon, SS

Slick-fielding shortstop needs to hit enough to stay in lineup.
