Twins projected lineup

[frogtosser]

Detroit is making a big run and cleveland is going to be very good too the twins sadly will be a distant 3rd or 4th depending on the white socks which sucks cause I love the twins.

The gardy angle and the anderson angle will help. I've heard that they are going to treat Liriano as a starter because he is a starter. I would not be surprised to see him in AAA to start just to get the confidence there and get some innings behind him...not to mention his DUI/Visa troubles delaying his arrival...

Twins will have their work cut out to reach 2nd place in the central...i see them finishing third.

I hear what you mean by third, but I just think the CC ship in Indian-land will cause a major shipwreck and the Twins will sneak into second.

But you never know -- many of us were surprised when we beat the Pale Hose and Indians so many years in a row???

Yeah, I know ... I'll grab another beverage.

Ahha - yeah the indians will have to deal with CC, while still winning games...stick to fantasy baseball...CC will be fine Dahitman

the twins will be just fine next year. the offense is better. people fail to realize that morneau,cuddy,and mauer all had down years. also kubel is back and should play all season, that is a HUGE help. people also aren't giving delmon enough credit.

this team is just fine on the offensive end, we just have to worry about if the pitchers can get it done. if anything this season should bring more hope than last as at least the young pitching is getting experience for 2010, when the lineup will all be in peak years as well

Or did they play above their heads on 06? I tend to believe they will be better than last year, but probably never as good as they were from June on in 06.

What do you mean people aren't giving Delmon enough credit? He was/is a super prospect and has the potential to be great. However, last year he was just OK. 288/.316/.408 is a decent line, but not a superstar yet. He might be and there is tons of room for optimism, but people should be a little cautious before proclaiming him an instant success next year IMO, he is still young.

13 Home runs last year??? He better doulble that and hit for better average say .320, then he will fit right in with Mauer and Morneau and they migt even be fun to watch.

Still a little shakey though.
