I can't wait for the real season to begin.

The fact that baseball has started means that spring is just around the corner.

Hallelujiah!!

I can’t believe they’re already playing baseball this year – the months are just flying by.

Adam Everett's been around

Adam Everett's been around long enough. I know what to expect from him. Isn't he basically Greg Gagne?

The infield is more secure than last year, for sure.

And I'd wouldn't call any of Justin Morneau unpredictable, exactly. Let me go out on a limb here and say he's going to hit .280 with 30 homers and 100 or more RBI.

Of course the eternal

Of course the eternal optimist thinks the Twins infield is secure.

They might be in a better position than they were two weeks ago, but I wouldn't call the infield (and CF for that matter) secure. You have no idea what you are going to get out of ANY of them. You can even add Morneau to that list. Now, Morneau is a darn good player and definitely a starter and middle-of-the-order hitter, but do you even know what you are going to get from him next year? He was the MVP and then not even close. I imagine he probably settles somewhere in between the past two years, but I don't think anyone really knows for sure what Morneau will do. And the rest of the infield is the same way.

So long Carlos Silva, especially for that much coin.
