My only concern is that Ryan is done. We still need a legitimate MLB ready top tier starter for this rotation. If not a #1 then at least a #2.

Should be an interesting off-season, with major league top rotation starters needed, hopefully we don't have to give up some of these prospects to get them. I'd love to see Arcia in a Twins uniform...

Too bad Rosario isn't further along we could use his help next year. Maybe 2014?

Is Hicks AAA next year? I'd love to see him in MN but where would we put him?

Seems to me Hendricks...

86 wins -- Mauer wins another batting title and belts 22 HRs 105 RBI (All-Star)
Mourneau plays well but only plays about 100 games 70 or so as DH... 25 HRs .277 BA
Liriano (All-star) wins 18 games...

I haven't seen much about Doumit and his defense. Is he reasonable defensively? Can we do ok with him back there 3 days a week? I think Mauer will play 1 game a week at 1B, 1 game a week at DH,...

Chang is clearly not viewed as ready for this year if they haven't given him as many opportunities in games as they have the other middle infielders. I think (based on some quotes I've seen) that...

In my opinion, the twins top 3 qualities they should be looking for in a utility player are: defense, defense, & defense

We are talking about someone who will get less than 100 ABs all year. If...

Marquis needs to pitch well today. He hasn't shown much so far.

Love the article! Its fun forecasting next season. So much can happen, but its a fun exercise to see where we are headed. I have to believe the Baker is playing this year for that option. If he...

In my humble opinion Span's RBI numbers this year will go hand in hand with how effective Ben is at getting on base and stealing 2nd. Not that we are expecting 100 RBIs from our lead-off hitter, but...

I was thinking maybe Single-A! What a waste of money that guy has been!

My guess is that Dozier is everyday in AAA at SS and some 2B when Nishi isn't wasting space in the lineup. Also I'm...

Clearly Nishi belongs in AA or A ball.. I'm not sure he is good enough to play AAA!

I like the optimism! I have always like but been frustrated with Alexi.

Other than his obvious inconsistent work with the bat, his base running is another frustration I have. I see him run...

It should be position player in my opinion, as you need someone who is out there regularly. Morneau or Mauer, depending on health.. let them rotate it like they do in hockey between those 2 or...

Now that is silly. The front office didn't build the ballpark to appease any pitchers on our staff. They kept the dimensions very similar to the Metrodome. No one knew how this field was gonna...

Seth I whole-heartedly agree he needs AAA time probably. My guess is, though, he will be up and down from AAA this year with any injuries to Morneau, Mauer, or Doumit (sp?). I just hope fans...

Twins in a tight 3 way race with the Tigers and the Royals (yes I said the Royals). 87 wins will be enough to win this division. I think we will beat each other up pretty good. I don't see any...

Great article, Nick. Span is key, I agree, but only so far as Mauer and/or Morneau are healthy.

Span's health will be one key to the Twins getting 85+ wins versus 70. As much as his effectiveness...

So we lost Kubel and Cuddyer. Be we gained Willingham. If Joe and Justin can be/stay healthy. Zumaya, Perkins, and a healthy Capps holding down the bullpen, and name a single starter who you...
