jphat007 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 THey are far and away the team to beat. Their lineup is just incredible. They could go out and just run away from everyone like we did in 05. f*** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 With Pierre and our rotating DH. The only thing this signing does is allow them to compete with us better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 That lineup is incredibly deep right now. Hopefully it takes them a while to adjust to the new park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could go out and just run away from everyone like we did in 05. f*** i thought pitching is the most important thing? no way are they far and away the best team. they have a lot of question marks with their rotation imo. pavano is avg at best. not a guarantee to stay healthy either, liriano is a big question mark, 4 and a half era for baker last yr, slowley had an era torwards 5, blackburn is their best pitcher and has won 11 games back to back years with an era of 4. our pitching is way better. their rotation may have potential but its far from being able to say that its very good. ill take a well above pitching staff and ave. linueup over a well above lineup with (at the moment) avg. pitching rotation Edited February 5, 2010 by Melissa1334 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How'd that work out? Now, it's better, and our offense is the same, if not worse. Hey, maybe we might even make it to second place this year!

Hey, maybe we might even make it to second place this year! and how many games did we throw away with colon and contreras pitching? and the toll it took on the pen? and buehrle didnt win games in the second half. ok, they may be better than us but i dont see them running away with the division with that rotation and the change in ballpark is a big question mark. if we had that rotation , everyone would be saying were finishing in 3rd,4th. its just funny how everyone is assuming the worst for our players but making it seem like every player on the twins is a certainty. everything is going to go perfect for them, ok.

Dick Allen Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 I just read this, in 3 of the past 4 seasons, the Twins have either won or lost the AL Central division title by 1 game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's being a truly competitive team, and it's an organization that really understands that baseball is a marathon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
