    It's been a while since our last post (blahblahblah job, blahblahblah earning salary, blahblahblah spending holiday time with friends and loved ones). But we're back with a very special post as we consider the 2014 resolutions of your Minnesota Twins.

    Joe Mauer

    Baseball Resolution: Hit like a boss now that defense doesn't crush my legs.

    Life Resolution: Be hospitable while hosting my fellow all-stars this summer, maybe even say multi-syllabic words to them!

    Brian Dozer

    Baseball Resolution: Prove that the hitting outburst last year was no fluke.

    Life Resolution: Find out how Joe got that Head and Shoulder's commercial and send them my audition tape.

    Trevor Plouffe

    Baseball Resolution: Throw the ball to the big tall guy at first base as often as possible.

    Life Resolution: Repeat life affirming mantra ("I'm good enough, smart enough, and doggone it people like me") whenever fans make frowny faces at me.

    Josh Willingham

    Baseball Resolution: Get healthy. Get 30+ homers again. Get the hell out of here.

    Life Resolution: See above.

    Oswaldo Arcia

    Baseball Resolution: Hit many more of those mammoth home runs.

    Life Resolution: Build a time machine so I can see those mammoth run home.

    Josmil Pinto

    Baseball Resolution: Improve defensively by listening closely to my veteran catcher teammate, veteran catcher coach and veteran pitchers.

    Life Resolution: Improve my teammates by teaching them the harmonies to the entire Mumford & Sons catalogue through repetition of my walk up music.

    Ricky Nolasco

    Baseball Resolution: BE AWESOME!!!!!!!

    Life Resolution: !!!!!!!!

    Caleb Thielbar

    Baseball Resolution: Keep being a badass left-hander.

    Life Resolution: Keep percentages in my favor by brainwashing every hitter to be left-handed.

    Phil Hughes

    Baseball Resolution: Use new stadium to keep home run rates down, try to boost strike out rate.

    Life Resolution: Every time I think about mean Yankee fans, just remember I've gone somewhere so far away that they'll forget I've ever existed...until we play a game in the Bronx...then drink heavily.

    Jared Burton

    Baseball Resolution: Continue to solidify the back of the bullpen.

    Life Resolution: Popularize neck beards again.

    Kevin Correia

    Baseball Resolution: Keep doing what I'm doing, even if I've been demoted from staff ace to staff #3...again...

    Life Resolution: Keep my arm attached to my shoulder.

    Glen Perkins

    Baseball Resolution: Get another All-Star Game spot by racking up the saves...assuming we have games that need saving.

    Life Resolution: Keep speaking truth to power (hitters). And by speaking truth I mean talk trash and throw sliders.

    Ron Gardenhire

    Baseball Resolution: Rebuild the team so it's in good shape for the next guy.

    Life Resolution: Use word-a-day calendar to improve nicknames for the boys. Instead of "Plouffe-y" maybe, Penultimate Plouffe-Dog?

    Twins fans, what are your New Year's Resolutions?
