High Hopes for the 2011 Season!

I as and many Twins fans alike, were a little disapointed in the outcome of the 2010 season. A lot of key injuries plagued our season although we still put up great numbers. Now coming into the 2011 season, hopefully that won't be the case. We have the talent that ranks right up there with the elites of the league. We just need to put up some numbers and stay healthy this season. We have all the key ingredients of a championship team. We made a key upgrade at middle infield this offseason witht the addition of Nishioka. This was our biggest weekness in addition to our bullpen. Hopefully with signing Yound and Thome, we can maybe think about putting Cuddyer at third to help anchor the left side defensively and give us a power hitter at third. So with all that said, our bullpen is probably not as strong as we would like it to be, but hopefully with Nathan, Neshek and Capps healthy, we can put up some solid numbers this year. The future looks bright for the Twins not only this year, but many years to come. Minnesota baseball is becoming an elite team of the MLB with the new stadium. We now have the money to compete with some major free agencies, the front office just needs to become a little more liberal than in years past. Can't wait for the Spring Training. GO TWINS! In Gardy we trust!
