C Check

1b Check

2b Check

SS Check

3rd base - Can improve

CF -Check

 

Thats it guys, we need two outfielders, Could use a better 3rd baseman

 

Backup Catcher - Pinto Would Improve us but will Twins do it>?

 

Pitchers - Hughes, Gibson, >>???

 

This all adds up to another losing season

 

The only position that we cant improve on is 2b...wow

How on earth can you judge and criticize the 2015 Twins roster when their 2014 August trades haven't even been completed yet? Let alone had their ENTIRE 2014-2015 off-season to address the roster holes and spend the $20 million or so they'll have to spend on the roster?

C Check - What about back up catcher? Pinto? Fryer? Free agent signing?
1b Check - Okay, deal.
2b Check - Yes
SS Check - Not so fast. Eddie Escobar has earned his keep, but what about Santana? Danny is not a CF long term.
3rd base - Can improve. Can improve, yes, but Plouffe has been solid. Could use a platoon partner until Sano gets up.
CF -Check - Whoa, no way. Danny Santana is not the answer long term. Team still needs a back up CF too. I think it's unlikely that Schafer is still with the team after the season.

 

This team could use a free agent signing to pick up a corner OF bat too, Arcia is young and improving, but there's still room for another bat at the corner.

 

As far as pitching goes, still lots of holes. 

 

But I disagree that it's another losing season. I think the Twins fight for .500 in 2015.

Well reasoned, Id like to add a few comments, for example..1b for example is only set because of contract..We are really wasting a position but ok..we want Mauers bat, so lets concentrate on adding the power in the outfield. Disagree on Schafer, is there a better fourth outfielder out there?  Dont see too many...

 

Catching ..yes ..backup catcher is a toss up...agreed on this..

 

but the bottom line.is our Pitching will still be weak no matter if we upgrade the lineup..

The questions marks mean prospects will have to come up and fill those roles.  Arcia will be in RF, Vargas at DH, Nolasco will have a rotation spot, Meyer might have one as well next year.  Hopefully May gets going and earns one. 

 

I wouldn't really bother on a 3B for any longer then a one year contract.  Same with LF (or CF).  I don't think I would sign any pitchers this off-season because it's time for the Twins to see what they have.  Nolasco, Hughes, Meyer, May, Gibson.
