pikestabber Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Premature? Of course! That's 1/2 the fun this time of year... 104-58 (NO GAME 163 this year!) Just going with players of regularity for 2010: SPAN: 16Hrs, 75 RBIs HUDSON: 12Hrs, 57 RBIs MAUER: 28Hrs, 105 RBIs MORNEAU: 26Hrs, 118 RBIs CUDDYER: 23Hrs, 101 RBIs KUBEL: 24Hrs, 98 RBIs YOUNG: 18Hrs, 74 RBIs THOME: 20Hrs, 62 RBIs HARDY: 22Hrs, 56 RBIs HARRIS: 14Hrs, 35 RBIs *PUNTO: 3Hrs, 31 RBIs *MY GRANDMA: 4Hrs, 34 RBIs (okay, love Punto's defense, but this WAS called for...) BAKER: 12 wins, 3.43 ERA BLACKBURN: 14 wins, 4.14 ERA PAVANO: 11 wins, 4.48 ERA SLOWEY: 15 wins, 3.62 ERA LIRIANO: 16 wins, 2.41 ERA (CY YOUNG WINNER ) NESHEK: Under 2.00 ERA MIJARES: Under 2.50 ERA GUERRIER: AL Holds leader RAUCH: 38 Saves, 2.98 ERA Okay, so that's like 800 runs scored and several Cy Young Candidates, including a Liriano of old and a premier closer from a guy with a handful of big league saves, but if you want to go, go big!

duckhuntr21 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 WOW....I hope you are 100% correct. Mauer, Morneau, Cuddyer, and Kubel will each have at least 30 HR and 100 RBIs. 101 and 61. ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duffman Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 If there are any end of season predictions I'm going to make, it might be that the Twins never give up the division lead from here on out. Especially if we make it thru the first three series.You know what I'm seeing in the team? It's almost like I'm getting a Yankee vibe from them, the Twins no longer think they are good, they KNOW they are good. Avoid the injury bug and this is going to be a very entertaining season.

Scott K Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I will predict, it will be a fun year to be a Twins fan! I like Koolaide myself, but I like it in moderation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solbes Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 Tough not to be optimistic after that awesome series. But hitters often start hot and then fade off as the grind gets to them. That said, I see great improvement out of Young, a shortstop with real pop, and the addition of Thome that we didn't have last year. Offense is going to be improved, but how consistently can our starters take us to 7 innings? I'm surprised Windy hasn't jumped all over this thread yet. Maybe he's waiting until after this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_jman Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I have a feeling the White Sox will warm up but lets hope the Twins can keep the heat on and have a nice lead on this division when the Sox start to charge. I don't think the Twins will hold the AL Central from when we got it to game 162. However I'm hoping its all locked up with more than a week to go.

LOTWSvirgin Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 I'm changing my vote. 161 - 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yea baby! What an awesome start. Yah but the Minnesota luck is they would still lose in the first round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott M Posted April 10, 2010 Share Posted April 10, 2010 Nice little start! 5-1, club is looking pretty sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott K Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 What I like about it is, when they are behind, I feel like they will not have any problem catching up. Unlike years before, were if they fell behind, by more then a run, I felt the game was over. With this offense it would be hard to count us out of the games. It is kinda like when we play the Yankees, and we have a 5 run lead in the 8, you just know, the Yankees can score them, and you never feel you have a comfortable lead, but this time, I feel that way for the Home team!
