Carew missing from AL top ten hitters in season mid
Bloomington AP Rod Carew remains absent from the American League top ten hitters one third into the season as his .309 average trails his lifetime mark and a Detroit rival leads the league. Moved to first base by Gene Mauch after nine seasons at second, Carew defends his steady performance and notes the need for balls to drop. Calvin Griffith paid $600000 in spring to sign Carew for three years, calling him a $200000 player and praising his value to the Twins.
