    The Twins and one (or many) of their affiliates, late to the game, when it comes to video, or any type of advanced stats? Shocking.

    I just don't see Torii putting up the same numbers as the last few years for one simple reason. He will be batting in front of Arcia/Plouffe or worse, compared to Maglio/Victor... I would say he's not going to see too many fat pitches.

    Read another preview of the AL Central (grantland). Twins last place. Fan Graphs is the most positive of all predicting web sites and has the twins at 75 wins. Even Vegas is lower. We all know there is 0 chance of the twins making the playoffs. Fine, it's a process. Still, some of their moves are just perplexing. Nunez, Dunesing, Schafer, Robinson, Milone, Staufer, Pelfrey, Boyer. Too much Terry Ryan imprint on this team. Also admitting to looking at trades for bullpen and center field. Again, this is a 70-75 win team....My hope is during the year we are mixing in some of the young kids for the players above, who have no chance being with us in two years.

    What is Torii Hunter going to do? Throw a punch at him? I think people are over estimating the effect Torii can have on this team, and will be disappointed when he isn't the clubhouse fix it all guy.

    Comparing the parallels between the two is understandable (both played well in MN). However, one is a hall of fame player, top 5 ever at his position. The other a nice player who had some very good years, but far from a HOFer. Like Nick though, I've come around a bit on the mentoring thing with Hunter. I don't expect him to put up the numbers, even from last year (look at the two guys batting behind him last year compared to the two who will be behind him this year), but if he can get a few of the younger guys to achieve more, then it's not all bad.

    Gleeman has Duffy as 31st. That's quite a contrast from 16.

    Wasn't there a post about defense on TD a while back that stated that Shafer was just average in CF? He was slightly above average in R and LF, but just average in CF. Throw in the fact he has never hit (despite his limited at bats with the Twins), well I just feel like it's a foregone conclusion that having any combination of Hicks/Shafer in CF is just not going to work.

    Check out Gleeman's take on all this. I tend to agree with him, as he suggests the Twins' FO has a distorted view of themselves... http://aarongleeman.com
