Just so nice to see an actual lineup, spring training game or not!

Day to day with something or other

[Old Twins Cap]

Like the looks of Buxton and Polanco at the top of the lineup.

 

God, I hope the Twins have a decent year....

[youngpadawan]

Change Park with Mauer, and enter Dozier at 2B in the 3 spot moving everyone else down one. Thathe would be my ideal lineup.

Crap I thought he entered camp in the best shape he has been in since he said that last spring training.

[Squirrel]

He's traded

Molitor was traded????? Wow!

[Vanimal46]

You're already in peak game thread mode! Should have been practicing over the winter... 

[spinowner]

Chuck Tanner was traded from Pittsburgh to Oakland when he was a manager.

Bilaterally?

I am in the best shape I've ever been coming into Spring Training.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Cash Considerations is our new manager!

 

I thought he was the new closer?? 

[Lee-The-Twins-Fan]

Mauer won't play until Wednesday, according to one report I saw... Dozier on Sunday. Both delayed due to WBC considerations, extending spring training, etc. I suppose they want to see the WBC players before they go off to their respective national teams.

 

Personally, I hope they schedule a lot of B-squad games. I want to see video of Adrienza playing SS, but I also want Polanco to see a lot of games at the position..

[Squirrel]

It's like the Dr. Seuss story 'Too Many Daves.' Mrs. Consideration had so many sons she didn't know what to do so she named them all Cash.

[BK432]

T-minus 150 minutes. I'm irrationally excited!
