southsider2k5 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/01/...toms-since-dec/ Justin Morneau hasn’t felt concussion symptoms since Dec. Drew Silva Jan 22, 2012, 2:14 PM EST 6 Comments morneau getty Getty Images Finally, some promising news on Justin Morneau. According to Joe Christensen of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, the 30-year-old first baseman has been participating in strenuous workouts for over a month at a training facility in Phoenix and has not experienced a concussion-related symptom yet. There’s still some concern that Morneau’s head issues will resurface when spring training opens and he’s exposed to the heat and sunlight of a typical March in Fort Myers, Florida. But, so far so good. “I wouldn’t say the head’s perfect yet,” Morneau told the Star-Tribune. “I’m not going to declare that until I go through fielding ground balls, playing catch, taking batting practice, doing all the baseball stuff. But what I was able to do today is miles ahead of where I was at this time last year.” Morneau batted just .227/.285/.333 with four home runs and 30 RBI across 288 plate appearances last year and has played in only 150 games over the past two seasons. The native of British Columbia was the American League’s Most Valuable Player in 2006 and was a .282/.352/.505 hitter between ’04 and ’09. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their late bullpen looks better. They have Verlander, Prince, & MCab. But it's not like the rest of their team is anything special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's not like the rest of their team is anything special. Verlander, Fielder, and Cabrera could combine for 20 fWAR. It will, barring anything completely out of the norm, take 5 White Sox players to match 20 WAR. I think the Tigers are going to win 100 games this year.

But it's not like the rest of their team is anything special. They're not the best team out there, but they have a very above average team on paper (but at least those contracts will hurt them in the future). They really should run away with the division now, unless injuries strike and/or everything goes right for the Indians. And I would love if the Sox had guys like Boesch or Avila. Those two guys are only going to get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jimenez pitches like an ace I think the Indians will give them a run for their money the entire way. Fister is a ground ball pitcher who had a terrific half-season. Not sold on that guy at all. Lets see how he likes having miggy butchering 3B behind him. And take a look at the prince's numbers outside of milwaukee. He's also getting ready to see a lot more breaking s*** than he saw in the NL. And Valverde? No way he repeats that performance. They had their shot last year, blew it as usual. f*** Detroit.

There comes a point where you can only torture yourself for so long.'' Bad day for Twins. After listening to Morneau, I think he knows the end is near, and wants to give it one more try.
