Perkins sub 2.50 ERA, 45 saves, no 2nd half drop off this year

Milone leads staff with 14 wins

[bluechipper]

How is Nolasco getting 10 starts?

[bluechipper]

I'm looking for Byron Buxton to lead the AL in steals at about 50.

 

Oswaldo Arcia is going to hit 20 HRs, although I'm not sure where he's going to find playing time.

 

Plouffe: 30 HRs and 100 RBIs.

Your Buxton prediction is bold; he's really not a great base-stealer at this point. 

[alarp33]

Dozier - 14 home runs, half of the 2015 number

Kepler - 350+ (productive) Plate appearances

Duffey-  <15 starts

Buxton - .260/.330/.420  leads team in WAR

[Monkeypaws]

Eduardo Escobar provides solid defense, .750 ops., and continues to fly under the radar until the Twins extend him through his first year of free-agency eligibility for 3 years/16million.

[stringer bell]

If all of the above predictions come true, the Twins will be in postseason.

[Brock Beauchamp]

Dozier: .750 OPS

Plouffe: .720 OPS

Escobar: .740 OPS

Mauer: .760 OPS

Buxton: .700 OPS

Sano: .840 OPS

Rosario: .700 OPS

Suzuki: ugh

Park: not even going to try to predict this guy

 

Lots of league average to slightly above league average guys. Overall, a rather potent offense with one superstar.

[Riverbrian]

Park  (until he proves otherwise)

 

BA.343 

HR 53

[nicksaviking]

 

Dozier: .750 OPS

Plouffe: .720 OPS

Escobar: .740 OPS

Mauer: .760 OPS

Buxton: .700 OPS

Sano: .840 OPS

Rosario: .700 OPS

Suzuki: ugh

Park: not even going to try to predict this guy

How eerie! You and I were like one digit off on most of these guys!

 

Dozier: .850 OPS

Plouffe: .820 OPS

Escobar: .840 OPS

Mauer: .860 OPS

Buxton: .800 OPS

Sano: .940 OPS

Rosario: .800 OPS

[Dozier's Glorious Hair]

Gibson - 17 wins, 3.50 ERA

 

Mauer - .285 AVG, .375 OBP

 

Dozier - .250 AVG, 23 HR

 

Escobar - .750 OPS, naysayers will still expect him to "regress"

 

Sano - Leads MLB in BB, .400 OBP

 

Park - .265 AVG, 35 HR, 100 RBI (assuming he's hitting behind Sano)

 

Meyer - 25-30 relief appearances (mostly in 2nd half, obviously), 3.00 ERA, 10 K/9

 

All-Star representatives: Perkins, Sano

[Pardon My Dinger]

 

All-Star representatives: Perkins, Sano

I'm going to add Park to that list, courtesy of South Korean baseball fans. 

[Oxtung]

Plouffe and Nolasco are not traded at the deadline.

 

Berrios gets <15 starts this season.

[Willihammer]

I'll raise my spill proof glass too- Plouffe leads the team in first half HRs.

Dozier repeats as all-star.

Rosario proves he's legit.

Bullpen... doesn't have any all star reps.
