ANALYSIS: When Torii Hunter returned to Minnesota this year, many saw him assuming the role of a mentor for the wealth of young talent on the Twins roster. Basically, Hunter was brought back to Minnesota for the same reason Kevin Garnett was. Now nearing the halfway point of the season, it seems Hunter didn't quite get that memo. The 39-year-old is hitting .266 with 11 HR and 43 RBI in 67 games played thus far in 2015, placing him 20th in scoring among all fantasy outfielders. Three of those HR have come in his last 7 games, and Hunter also has 7 RBI over that span, not bad for a player who was drafted several months before Twins top prospect Byron Buxton was even born. While it's clear that Hunter isn't the hitter he once was, it's also clear that the aging outfielder still has plenty left in the tank, and should provide a good source of HR and RBI as long as the young Twins can put people on base in front of him.
