I'm sure you are right about Farmer or Solano taking that 2B spot to begin the season.

I know many fans (myself included) are really hoping for Julien to be given the 2B Opening Day spot (just think of the great video they could take of telling him that he's starting on Opening Day!), but that's not usually how the Twins role. They'd rather have him take care of business at AAA for a month before bringing him up.

I am personally not at all sold on Solano, and he looks entirely lost at the plate, which shouldn't be the case for someone of his career stat line. Makes me wonder if there is an injury at play that isn't being disclosed.

They just need to do what they need to do for Polanco. When he's playing and healthy he's a game changing presence on the field. It's a shame that he's been so plagued by injuries throughout his career.

You said***It's a shame that he's been so plagued by injuries throughout his career., wasent last years injury the 1st time in his career on the D.L. ?

He's been above average on offense in his career once and that was six years ago. He's in the major leagues because he's a plus defender in a defensive position high on the spectrum.

I like Gilbert , just think he could use a healthy dose in the Minors , when ready, Hey how do i get NESN ?? 

Gotta say , Having Taylor makes me feel better than seeing Celestino ,  And with Byron Brittle as D.h. even more so !!

Ohtani   ?  and Trout is up 3rd,   

Another  good game    ,  been a great way to get ready for our hometown  9   

Really impressed with alot of Japans players , been looking up alot of stats    play 143 games, Murakami is off the charts,

Yes you can, I've done it for 24 years.  Of course my Japanese is better than when I first arrived, but it still sucks.  I'm not proud of it, and I think if I tried harder to improve my Japanese I would have had a, I don't know what the word is, uh, "richer" experience--whatever that means.  Anyway, I'm doing fine with rudimentary Japanese.

Thank you,   very good to know that

It is civil, isn't it.  If I'm walking in the city (Nagoya) at night and I hear footsteps behind me, I don't even bat an eye.  I don't know if I ever can go home again.

You have bought into the hype the FO is feeding the fans. New uniforms don't make a winning team. Performance does. Will we see improved hitting? Manufacturing runs? Better base running? Throwing to the correct base? Better managerial decisions? Longer starts by pitchers in the rotation? A long relief pitcher or two to take the pressure off the bullpen? Improved health? The roster is full of players with health issues and Rocco hasn't proven to me that he's learned anything from his past mistakes. I don't drink their Kool-Aid. I want to actually see it happen first. 

The roster is full of players with health issues and Rocco hasn't proven to me that he's learned anything from his past mistakes. I don't drink their Kool-Aid. I want to actually see it happen first. That comment in your post to me is the Biggest question mark --He walked into a team with the Gift of the 2019 BaseBall  that now years later is proven to the Boom in homeruns, ive been saying he got Spoiled to power game and since then i have seen Zero adjustments, Well Rocco this year is The Test, with all the rule changes to bring Speed and intelligence , Past couple years results are not gonna be okay , its the Managers job to relate and get the players and base coaches to play Smarter , , IM looking ahead like alot of us with Spring Fever to see how the team plays, And April is a bear of a Schedule, From here on we need to see what your showing us You can be more Flexible instead of strictly going by the what the Computer says,  GO TWINS!!!!

Would of been nice to see Arraez bat,  oh well    Good Game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Escobar to me should be hitting for Suarez here

Turner Classics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even better seeing Arraez do what he is and if they win we get to see our part of the trade  Lopez ,  Gotta enjoy that

Arreaz , Showing miami, what the fans got,   AWESOME

I like Smoltz idea move the strike zone down a bit , Todays players are able   OMG   lUIS AGAIN, LOVE YA LUIS

Sorry to see Diaz get hurt, They have a bunch of relievers, not like Diaz ------ Oh wait dont they have Emilio Pagan  i was hoping the P.R. Team would  of pitched Pagan to help tighten up the score
