Manager Ron Gardenhire announced 2/3 of his starting outfield this morning. There appears to be only a couple decisions left to be made regarding the bullpen and utilty infielder positions. Revere and Plouffe will platoon in right field with Doumit and possibly Parmelee sprinkled in, to put any questions about the outfield to rest. I believe Burton and Maloney are locks to make the roster and most likely Kyle Waldrop. I would be absolutely shocked if Manship or Burnett slid into the last bullpen spot. This leaves the infielder position as a big question mark. It was announced last week by Gardenhhire that Brian Dozier will start the season in Rochester to end any speculat…

There is also a 'B' game this morning, also up in Bradenton, but this is for the regular Grapefruit League game. Correia is pitching in the 'B' game (followed by Meyer and Pino). Twins: Presley, CF Dozier, 2B Mauer, 1B Willingham, DH Plouffe, 3B Ramirez, RF Mastroianni, LF Suzuki, C Bartlett, SS Worley, SP (then Gibson, Gilmartin, Hoffman, Johnson and Pressly) Pirates: Marte, LF Martin, C McCutchen, CF Alvarez, 3B Walker, 2B Snider, DH Mercer, SS Lambo, 1B Decker, RF Rodriguez, SP I'd say 'And let the chatter begin' except it's just way too early for that; at least for me. If there are any tweaks to either team's lineups,…

Baltimore: 1) Lough, CF 2) Lombardozzi, 2B (something familiar about that name...) 3) Urrutia, RF 4) Young, D, LF (i've heard of him too) 5) Clevenger, C 6) Reimold, DH 7) Flaherty, 3B 8) Pearce, 1B 9) Casilla, A, SS P) Norris, B Minnesota: 1) Dozier, 2B 2) Suzuki, K, C 3) Mauer, 1B 4) Willingham, LF 5) Kubel, DH 6) Plouffe, 3B 7) Arcia, O, RF 8) Hicks, CF 9) Florimon, SS P) Pelfrey (source: mlb gameday) And of course, things to think about. 1) Actions speak louder than words. So i shan't ever complain about lack of game thread... 2) Better late, than never. But might as well take advantage of the lateness as more information is available. Reinfo…

Sorry Twins fans but the game today against the New York Yankees has been postponed due to hurricane Henri. Looks like it took an act of mother nature to save us from getting swept out of New York. Instead we got blown out and flew out before the Yankees could sweep us out. Maybe I'll write a baseball book about the Twins and Yankees matchups over the last few decades. It will be called: "Blown out, swept out and then we flew out". A total page turner of a book with in-depth interviews and recollections by former and current Twins players about their fears of playing the Yankees both at home and in New York. There would also be great interviews and recollection…
