Let’s get into this week’s action…

Michael Beller from SI.com takes a look at Brian Dozier’s last two seasons and asks the question “is he due to regress?” Always a conversation-starter on the Twins Daily forums, this thread sparked a lively debate about Dozier and his ability to maintain 2014’s performance level.

Dozier: A Candidate for Regression?

Nick Nelson posted the top 11-15 prospects in the Twins system - many of which would be top five or ten prospects in other systems - and debate raged over the order of the list. Where would you put Lewis Thorpe, the left-handed teenager with shoulder questions?

Fellow Twins site Twinkie Town interviewed the Twins Assistant General Manager, Rob Antony.
