Thread: Article: Will Willingham continue to hammer?

We want happy stats, we want happy stats!

For those of us looking for a reason to buy a Twins hat or even (gasp) a ticket to a game this year, can't you come up with some stats or projections that will warm our hearts on these frigid winter days? Here, I'll start: If Sam Deduno gets that pesky control problem fixed; if Kyle Gibson dominates in spring training; if Hicks, Arcia and Benson tear the cover off the ball all spring; if Florimon learns to read pitchers; if Plouffe starts playing third base like Dave Schmidt; if Morneau arrives in Fort Myers looking like he's 25 again; if Gardenhire loses fifty pounds and starts doing wind sprints with the players; if Parmelee starts swinging the bat like Rafael Palmiero...

Of course, some of these things may not happen, but for sure most of them will!

I, for one, welcome the second coming of Dave Schmidt at the hot corner.

He apparently can also be a moderately effective pitcher should the need arise.
