    We're still two weeks out. Why worry about it yet? The Minnesota sports gods will provide as soon as they're done torturing Gopher Basketball and stalking Teddy Bridgewater.

    Mauer hitting 3rd is not a major problem at the moment. They are currently trotting out a line-up with at least 3 black holes (Suki, Santana and DH) and Hicks should still be nowhere near the top 5. So realistically, you can't drop him any lower than 5th anyway, and that's not better. If Mauer is still hitting 3rd when Sano, Vargas and Buxton are on the team, that's a whole other thing. I don't think they'll be that stubborn. It's far more important to fill at least one of the black holes, and at least partially cover a 2nd by getting Pinto up here and letting him catch a couple times a week.

    Hey, it's Spring the time for eternal optimism, a new manager, etc. But this certainly takes the wind out of the sails. I want to believe that Pelfrey will be not awful and the net effect of this is only a couple wins. But it still sucks. I was already having visions of the bullpen costing us about a win a week. It's pretty hard to be optimistic at this point.

    +1, A couple days ago it sounded like Malone was the front-runner? Personally, I'd give Malone a shot with a very short leash to May and Meyer.

    So did Tom Kelly (Pags and Leus) I thought a platoon has made sense the last couple years with Hicks and Pressley or Pressley/Mastro. It certainly does again.

    I don't like moving Arcia to LF, but Seth's right the over-reaction here is just as over-the-top as the universal love elsewhere. The truth is somewhere in the middle. It's one year of an over-paid aging outfielder. It's not what will determine the Twins fate in 2015 much less long-term. It's really not that big of a deal.

    I don't have a huge issue with it, as long as he only plays 80-90 games mostly against lefties. $10.5 million is too much for a part-time player, but I'm not a Pohlad heir, so I don't give a $%^. My only fear is that at that price, they'll stubbornly run him out there 150 times. If Gardy was still here it would be a certainty. I hope Mollie knows better.

    Personally, Luvello was more intriguing, but I'm OK with this. Molitor has as good a chance to succeed as anyone and it makes sense on multiple fronts.

    If he doesn't want to come here, fine. But $$ should not be the issue. $5 million? Great. $8 million? OK. Even $10 million. What player could they sign for these amounts that would do more on the field or with the fans than Maddon would?

    Terry Ryan should be out for a few reasons. Not the least of which is Bill Smith was his hand-picked successor. Yes, he made the mess, but he was the guy Terry groomed to take his place. Further, I refuse to believe the major moves made under Smith (Garza trade, Hardy trade, Nishi signing, etc.) were not run by 'consultant' Terry Ryan before the trigger was pulled.

    Have they announced the roster move yet? I vote Swarzak.
