Aaron Hicks a Key for the Twins in 2016

Of all the pleasant surprises of 2015, Aaron Hicks was one of the most impactful. The Twins uber-talented first round pick out of Woodrow Wilson High School in 2008 has always had plenty of potential. He was ranked as the 19th best prospect in the game by Baseball America in 2009. Many people had given up on Hicks during his elongated trip to the majors. Despite putting up consistently solid MiLB numbers throughout his professional career, Hicks struggled in his first two major league seasons. In 2013, Hicks managed a paltry .192/.259/.338 line through 81 games.
