Spring Training is Near

As we approach the 2011 spring training campaign many questions loom over the Twins. Among the leading storylines is the questions about the bullpen including Joe Nathan's injury status, Justin Morneau's concussion symptoms and our new shortstop Nishioka. As a diehard Twins fan it was an unsettling offseason watching our main division rivals add key pieces while the Twins did everything but that. As the 2 time defending AL Central Champs, winning the division is not enough anymore. We as Twins fans expect a championship and the front office didn't do much to help our case moving towards the 2011 campaign. But considering how much success we did have last season with many of the key parts having less productive years than the previous season. Among these players are Joe Mauer, Michael Cuddyer, and Denard Span. I expect each of these players to improve upon their offensive numbers and make up for the loses we had in the offeseason. This is why I expect the Twins way of playing baseball to prevail as we pursue our 2nd Al Central 3 peat in the last decade. The Twins are much more than Joe Mauer or Justin Morneau. We are an organization that runs from Minneapolis, MN to Fort Myers, FL and to Rochester, NY. Each part of the organization will play a key role if the Twins are going continue our dominance over the AL Central Division....8 Days til the first game of the spring. In Gardy we Trust.
