Really enjoyed the article. The only points I disagreed with were Plouffe not being traded and the bullpen. You mentioned usually needing 7-10 starters throughout the year (which is what usually happens) but you want us to put all of our possible other starters (May, Meyer, Berrios, Nolasco and Milone) in the bullpen? I just think that doesn't bode well if they aren't being stretched out to go those 6-7 innings you want from a starter and tax your entire bullpen in one day when you need one of them. As far as plouffe goes I just don't like the idea of Sano playing OF when I believe he can be a decent 3B. Also plouffe is about a 250-260 hitter at his best and if he could net us a couple relief pitchers to help the bullpen I'd pull the trigger because I do believe Sano is an overall upgrade over plouffe, all things considered.

Catcher: mauer 1st baseman: parmelee 2nd: Kelly Johnson (write in) 3rd: Plouffe SS: Florimon OF: Willingham, Revere, Arcia DH: Doumit I just think morneau and span can be moved for some decent pitching and freed up salary. Also I think it's time the twins move in a younger direction and see what some of the prospects can contribute to our beloved Twins.

I have a feeling Roenicke could be a diamond in the rough. away splits are pretty good and we all know that coors field is not a pitchers friend. here's the link to view the splits http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.cgi?id=roenijo01&year=&t=p

I do believe that this team could get younger and better if we traded Mourneau and Span and replaced them in house with Parmalee and Revere. Not only would this possibly give us pitching help (depending on what the twins fetch in return) but it would free up more money to go out and grab two or three good (Anibal Sanchez, Dan Haren, Edwin Jackson) free agents.
