Aaron Hicks was rushed to the majors. He debuted at 23 years old, in 2013, and with only 22 games at triple-A under his belt. The Twins needed to do so, because of the pre-2013 season trades of Ben Revere (for Vance Worley and Trevor May,) and Denard Span (for Alex Meyer.) Neither of those trades exactly worked out well for Minnesota, although May remains an underrated reliever, and one of the better components of recent Twins’ bullpens prior to signing with the Mets as a free agent this winter.
