2009 Minnesota Twins

Hopefully we can get more of a dialogue going here than last year.

It looks like we have essentially the same team coming back this year, with one exception: we are about to sign Joe Crede. We have 4 guys who have the potential to hit 20+ HRs for the Twins now in Morneau, Cuddyer, Crede and Kubel.

I am very worried about our bullpen though. The only moves we made were not re-signing the Chipmunk (Reyes) and bringing in Luis Ayala. Ugh that does nothing for me. Hopefully Jose Mirajes will continue with the potential he showed late last year and step into the 8th inning role.

Crede is going to be a Twin. 1 year, $2.5 Mil., could make up to $7 Mil.

Cuddyer will never hit close to 20 HR's again in his career.

This years looking pretty promising. Once again, no one thinks we can win the division and we once again will. I laugh at the fact every year is an overhyped team (this year is the Indians) in the AL Central. Look at the Tigers last year for instance. They were favorites and look what the Twins did without Santana/Hunter. The Twins in the recent years haven't been labeled "favorites" and I kind of like it that way. This year I see us winning the division and winning the World Series (In my dreams, but realistically I see them possibly winning first round). If Crede gets healthy, we are going to be one dangerous team to watch. Our pitching has came along and Delmon is looking great! Hopefully he fits into our expectations and we will be tough to beat.

Sounds like Mauer isn't going to be ready for opening day. Will be a platoon of Mike Redmond and either Jose Morales or Drew Butera (Hopefully Morales). Hopefully Mauer won't miss more than a week or two...

Mijares did very well at the end of the season last year, I think he will have a good year

Your boys simply ran into a Juggernaut tonight! Sorry about that, I hope the Mariners take it easier on you tomorrow.
