How many home run will Joe Mauer hit in 2012?
TwinsFaninMaryland replied to Parker Hageman's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
I think Target Field is going to lock him into a gap-hitting doubles mentality, so I'm going low. Nine dingers, with seven to the opposite field. -
Suggestions for places to eat in Ft. Myers
TwinsFaninMaryland replied to Nicholas Mueller's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Thrylos98's Fort Myers Culinary Guide has some excellent suggestions. I would particularly endorse the Prawnbroker on McGregor -- excellent seafood at a very reasonable price. A hint that it's good is that the place is regularly packed with locals. University Grill, owned by the same company, is also good with a slightly different menu and more of an upscale saloon ambience. If you don't mind a short drive, some of the best dining is found over on Sanibel Island -- I recommend Doc Ford's, Matzaluna for homestyle Italian and the Island Cow, which has quality food even though it has every imaginable dish known to mankind on the menu. Also on Sanibel, a little off the tourist path, is the Beachview Golf Club restaurant, a nice steak and seafood place that has German Night every Wednesday. -
If your psyche is brimming with spring training optimism, then you believe the Twins can cut that run differential down through: * A mediocre Marquis being an improvement over last year's atrocious Duensing performance * Liriano pitching as well as he seems to in even-numbered years * Getting a full injury-free year from Baker. * Not being forced to give 250 plate appearances to a .167 hitting catcher * Aforementioned improvements from Mauer, Morneau, Span * Getting a full season of Casilla playing like he did pre-injury. And, hey, simply not having those 13 innings of 2.13 WHIP from Dusty Hughes ought to be worth something. Not saying that this team is anywhere near a 90-win roster, but spring is for unfettered optimism.
