Here's my take on a 2014 Opening Day lineup, something between what I realistically think it could be and what I wish it would be: Batting order: 8 Hicks 4 Dozier 5 Mauer DH Willingham 3 Morneau 7 Arcia 9 Parmelee 2 Herrmann 6 Florimon OF Clete Thomas IF Util Doumit I think Morneau still has the fire but is maybe out of tread. He'll be on 1-yr deals until he retires and maybe that comes in a couple years with Mauer moving to first when Sano is ready. Mauer needs to move from behind the plate asap but maybe catch once a week to make him happy. Plouffe I'm sure is a nice guy but needs to go far away from here. Pitching 1. Free Agent 2. Gibson 3. Diamond/Deduno 4. 5. Swarzak, Albers, Worley, etc closwr Perkins I'm convinced the Twins already have the arms to build a solid staff, they just need some coaching to guide them at the big league level. I don't envision Gardenhire and his boys managing here again next year. Detroit will still be the class of the AL Central but quick turnarounds can happen!
