My New 2015 Roster Prediction
Twins Video
The Twins have done some interesting things in promoting certain players like Santana, Vargas, and Polanco this year. I think the first two guys might be with the club out of the gate next year as well.
I would predict the following roster out of ST, barring injuries:
C: Suzuki, Pinto, Herrmann
1B: Mauer, Vargas, Parmelee
2B: Dozier, Escobar
SS: Santana, (Escobar)
3B: Plouffe (Escobar)
LF: Parmelee, (Herrmann)
CF: Hicks, (Santana)
RF: Arcia, (Parmelee), (Herrmann), (Colabello)
DH: Colabello, (Pinto) (Vargas), (Arcia)
A quick call for James Beresford, Danny Ortiz, and Dan Rohlfing (or Matt Koch)
Longer term replacements in Miguel Sano, Eddie Rosario, Byron Buxton, Jorge Polanco, and Stuart Turner
This produces a batting order against RH:
Santana
Mauer
Arcia
Vargas
Dozier
Parmelee
Plouffe
Suzuki
Hicks
And against LH:
Santana
Dozier
Mauer
Vargas
Plouffe
Pinto
Colabello
Parmelee
Hicks
Colabello could be replaced by someone like Danny Ortiz or a free agent signing.
The starting rotation:
Hughes
Gibson
May
Nolasco
Milone
Meyer, Gilmartin, and Darnell a quick call away.
Bullpen:
(Hopefully the Twins shed Burton, Swarzak and Deduno, and find some value in trading Duensing and Fien)
Pressly
Thielbar
Achter
Oliveros
X pitcher (Pryor, Guerra, Ibarra, etc.)
Tonkin
Perkins
