Cuddy, Gomez, Span, Gardy loves Cuddy. I would still think that Young still gets tons of PT though. I think they will rotate them enough so that all 4 of them see the field equally and of course playing the hot hand when someone has one.

I would like to see Span in there at all times though, we need his approach at the plate in the leadoff spot.

1) Cleveland 92 wins

2) Detroit 89 wins

3) Twins 87 wins

Starters are spotty at the beginning.

Bullpen blows up from being over worked.

July 12th Delmon Young gets traded.

Is that what you are looking for? grin

I have the Royals finishing ahead of the Tigers again this season. I don't care how much money they spend on that team, they are spending it on older players and they will have plenty of people sitting on the bench again this season on the DL.

I can see Mauer adding his third batting title...

Morneau in the top three in MVP voting again...

Nathan getting only 38 saves due to the bullpen not getting the game to him...

Gomez spends much of the year in triple-A. Gives him a chance to mature and get all the playing time. As much potential he has, he needs to get his head in the game,or at least understand what will be expected of him, at the plate...

The teams fielding percentage goes back up to where we expect it...

Killer injuries might be someone like Baker, Casilla, or Redmond, Crede is a given...

Fall out of the race with four games left in the season...

Bill Smith named general manager of the year.

Cuddyer bats .289 with 23HR's and 113 RBI. Wins A.L. comeback player of the year.

Or

Cuddyer trips and falls on shoelace while getting off the bus before Twins first game breaking both wrists and nose. Is inactivated for entire 2009 season.

Gomez will NOT be in AAA. He will be the starting CFer for us for at least 130 games I'll bet.

Baker winning 18 is about the only one of those predictions I think has a reasonable chance of coming true. If Baker stays healthy, this will be the year he gets noticed around the league. If the Twins were smart, they would ink him long-term before the season starts.

I think... Gardy will start Cuddyer in right and keep him there until he plays himself to the bench or gets hurt, in either case, Span will take over...

Crede will have a great year at third, 25/100 at the plate...

Liriano will win the Cy Young.

Thats my predictions anyway.

pre-season twins prediction?

I predict they will win more than they lose........ grin

With 4 great outfielders, I don't see Kubel getting playing time ....except as DH. The good part about having so many good ones is they can all get days off, and stay stronger late in the season. I thought they faded bigtime late last year. I think Cuddy will spell Morneau at first now and then also. Gotta keep him fresher also.

My regular season prediction....92 wins. Gonna be a dogfight

(black and blue baseball division), with improvement in several teams.
