Ronald Zimmerman

Perk's fastball worries me. He can't seem to throw it past anybody. Can he still tune it up over 92-93? Tonkin worries me and Fien worries me. Help better be on the way soon. The bullpen looks like our Achilles heading intot he opener.

A happy Danny Santana is a good Santana, last year he was an unhappy Danny Santana. This year he looks like the happy Danny Santana again.

I'm for taking the super 2 away, sorry it's a game of economics!

I like Dozier at the top of the lineup, he can take a walk he can jerk the ball over the LF fence, he can steal a base and I think he will do a better job using the whole field this year. I think he keeps the defense thinking with all he can do. I think he can also pick up some more base hits laying the ball down and I think Mauer should be in the #2 hole and he needs to keep up his high OBP. Think Joe is in his 3rd year removed from the heavy concussion symptons. Would like to see Park or Sano as #3, whichever makes the other guy the #4 hitter, followed by Rosario, Plouffe, Buxton, Escobar and Suzuki or Murphy.

Awesome thread and quotes. At 61 I get to fulfill a bucket list dream as well and the responses here are fantastic. I get to go down about March 21st and catch a few games, but the side fields thing is very helpful as well. Great info. looking forward to the start of the 2016 season!

I am beginning to wonder if Johnson and our scout department know what the heck they are doing. We do not seem to pick and #1 and #2 draft that can make it right away or even make it at all. Don't think I have to list all the misses for the readers here.

The Twins have to have Berrios in AAA for the first few weeks. They can't afford to give him his first full year early. Being a GM with a non potential world series team in 2016 and not a full pipeline with potential #1 or #2 status, I would have to agree with FO to keep him down in April with a specific work agenda.

Kid is supposed to have #1 stuff.
