My 25-man roster

Here it goes:

Hicks, CF

Mauer, C

Willingham, LF

Morneau, 1B

Doumit, DH

Plouffe, 3B

Parmelee, RF

Dozier, 2B

Florimon, SS

Bench: Carroll, Escobar, Boggs, Ramirez/Colabello

Note: I don't care about Dozier and Florimon at the bottom (Carroll will fill in), I like a Hicks-Mauer-Willingham first inning a great deal.

Worley

Pelfrey

Hendriks

Correia

DeVries

(Diamond DL)

Pressley

Slama

Robertson

Fien

Duensing

Burton

Perkins

(Swarzak DL, Guerra DL)

I like this rotation with Diamond sliding in for DeVries, but with DeVries and Deduno knocking at the door.

I like this bullpen with Watts, Pugh, Albers, and eventually Oliveros and Guerra waiting.

I agree with your everyday lineup Shane, however Mastroianni is a lock for a bench spot, so I would kick out Boggs.

That was a late-night oversight! You are right. An alternative would be to keep Hicks down for a month and platoon Boggs and Mastro.

You have to look at who is on the 40-man. Guerra is moot. He'll be a minor league disability like Blackburn and Oliveros. Slama is already gone and not on the 40-man. You want to add two bench names from three guys, also on the 40-man. You want to keep Pressly. The Twins, barring a 60-day disability, have no 40-man spots. Possibly Pressly would be one if not kept. Maybe they will deep-six Roeincke and Wood, but see them keeping at least one of the duo. Not sure what wil happen with Butera. If Burnett can't make the team again, I doubt that Robertson will.

Roenicke instead of Slama, Mastro instead of Boggs (oversight), and Ramirez decision made. Looks good to me.
