I think I'd rather have

I think I'd rather have Young in the No. 3 slot as well.

I could probably roll with

I could probably roll with that lineup, except the part about Michael Cuddyer batting third. He proved himself competent, but Delmon Young is way better. I'm afraid that if Young bats No. 5, he won't have the protection he needs behind him. A Mauer-Young-Morneau-Cuddy combo would be formidable. Surely, we'll see that from time to time this year, too.

It's nice to see Slowey

Tom Schardin — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 08:33:06 -0500

It's nice to see Slowey pitching well - 10 innings and 1 earned run in his last 2 games.

And yesterday's starting lineup may what we will see in the opener.

Gomez - CF
Mauser - C
Cuddy - RF
Morneau - 1B
Young - LF
Monroe/Kublel - DH (depending on a lefty or righty)
Lamb - 3B
Harris - 2B
Everett - SS

P - Hernandez (Would have been Baker if he didn't get hurt).

It's nice to see our young

It's nice to see our young center fielders - Gomez and Span - showing some promise in spring training.

The Twinks should win 86

The Twinks should win 86 games. I don't think they'll be as bad as most of the analysts say. But they might not finish as high as second. I'll try to be realistic -- this is going to be a fun team to watch, but don't take off work for the month of October.

I think the best they can

I think the best they can hope for this year is third, with a shot at second or first within the next few years.

Twins will take 2nd in AL

Twins will take 2nd in AL behind Detriot but not win the wildcard. 86 wins for the Twins this summer!

The geniuses at MSNBC.com predicted a 5th place finish for the Twins in the Central, behind the Royals. Unbelieveable!!
