So, the Twins beat the whole United States?  

 

Do we get to, like, annex Wisconsin or something now?

Yes, and now the long offseason re-begins. I for one am absolutely giddy in anticipation of the next round of Dozier trade discussions.

My vote?

 

Dozier plays baseball. Any other trade and he would have to start training as a journyman again...

 

Although if a second opinion is asked, Dozier the tinker has a nice ring. Not that a ring should be the emphasis...

I like the concept of getting more OBP people in front of Dozier.  Buxton seems the odd duck, but maybe this will be the big year for him.  With a guy like Polanco at the bottom of the order, well, could lead to some really fun baseball to watch. 

 

And if we're mixing and matching a lineup to have more of those OBP people in front of sluggers, wouldn't the Twins be moving Kepler in front of Sano?  Eschew the 'traditional lineups' sayz I !!

Does Rosario fill the 7 spot or do things change with him in the lineup?

I see a possible career operating heavy machinery. (Hehe)
