Not when every other team except one has at least 1 in the column that matters.

Get out of here. You know that you don't make an out on the bases when you're the go ahead run.

Really? Is two out of the first six really that much better. Lighten up, dude.

Arcia will be traded. I don't think Molitor likes him too much. Outfield opening day will be Rosario, Hicks, and Hunter; unfortunately Hunter is retained --at a much lower rate. Buxton to AAA for a minute, but I guess why send him down when they brought him up early this year; although, out of necessity. I reallllly like the Rosario, Buxton, Hicks outfield. I think all the Twins pitchers and Molitor does as well. I don't see how you can bring Hunter back, unless he is the fourth/fifth outfielder/DH guy. Plouffe stays. He's a solid player; 'nuff said. What do we do with Mauer? He can't stay at 1b. If he hits .270, he needs to send out a bunch more dingers. If he hits .320, he doesn't need to hit more dingers. One or the other, but they can't have him doing .270 and 9 long ones. I don't have a clue what to do with Mauer, but I'd rather have him in the lineup than not in the lineup. Can't see him hitting 3rd too much longer with Sano in the lineup. Nolasco is not going anywhere unless the Twins take a bad contract and similar player off of the other team. I'd prefer a position player rather than a pitcher. Melvin Upton from the Padres? I could stomach his results better than Nolasco's; like 100 times stomach it more. Just shut Hughes down until he figures out what is preventing him from hitting 93 mph on the gun. Like posters have said previously on this board, if he can't get passed 91, he doesn't have the movement for that. Insurance is kicked in when a player is on the DL correct?. The Twins need Hughes to be better than he was this year. He doesn't have to be what he was in '14, but he needs to be better than '15. Santana should be alright with a full season of starts. He's a good #3. Rotation of Santana, Gibson, Hughes (if healthy), Duffey, and Milone is do-able until Berrios gets called up. If Hughes is hurt, stretch May out to start; however, May can be dominant in the 'pen with that 96 mph heater and dirty curve. May, Jepsen, Perkins is a solid start. Will Meyer get his act together? Can some of the college throwers become pitchers and harness their natural ability? Dozier needs to learn to hit the ball to the opposite field. I hope he looks long and hard at his second half stats. Really, really long and hard. Escobar should be the Twins starting shortstop unless Polanco hits .500 in spring training. Wait... scratch that, Escobar has EARNED the right to be the starting shortstop with his play in the major leagues in '14 and '15. Sano continues to mash. What catchers are available in trade? Who are some prospects? Take a chance on Matt Wieters? He's a free agent, right? I like Suzuki as a backup. He's a professional and a leader. Perhaps extend him to serve as a backup and maybe an eventual coach? I like this team going into next year. We have above average defense, a potentially above average lineup for a high ceiling and an average lineup as the floor, average starting pitching, potential above average bullpen with some help from inside and outside the organization, and a solid coaching staff. A good mix of veterans to supervise the young players. A well of prospects that can be used to entice teams to pull the trigger on trades. Of course, majority of these guys could implode and then we're back to the drawing board.

Maybe Mientkiewicz gets a promotion?

I'm sure this is sarcasm on your part. How is losing Guerrier a risk? They have nothing to lose by having him opt out.

What pisses me off and saddens me about this situation is that if they knew it was partially torn in October (and rest RARELY working) why not have him have surgery then with the possibility of being back in July and definitely August and September? Antony sounds like an idiot in that interview on MLB.com. Eight months would not have lost him the 2014 season! Waiting until March does lose his season! ******* idiots! I know people complain about the coaching staff, but the medical staff needs to go IMO. They are hands-down the worst in the league. Enough is enough. /rant

The main prerogative would be to get autographs, watch drills - see minor league and major league players participate. Games aren't necessarily the main objective. I've done that and it was fun, but I want a more "personal" experience. I am a teacher and would have the 2nd or 3rd week in February off.

In your opinion when is the best time to experience ST? I have been once during the middle of March and am thinking of trying to make it down next year.

Dude has never won an MVP. Below average defense. Put him on the Royals and he'd be a nobody. Definitely one of the most overrated players of all-time. Bravo, OP!!

Well, let's look at this on the other side. What if he waited and didn't make a move and these dude's signed somewhere else. Without signing these guys, we'd look like the Orioles. I used to like that organization, but the way the conduct business shows the fanbase that they really don't care about the team. TR listened to the fans, well we can think that, when signing these three guys pretty quickly. Keep it coming next year!

Hopefully this is happening this year, right?

Send him to Mr. Meyoghi (sp obviously hahaha) to learn the art of focus; although, his yoga should help with this.

Read that yesterday. Good to see that he is at least on someone's national radar.

Did this list come out yet?
