Twins Territory - Get use to it

Opening day line-up:

1. Carlos Gomez, CF;
2. Joe Mauer, C;
3. Michael Cuddyer, RF;
4. Justin Morneau, 1B;
5. Delmon Young, LF;
6. Craig Monroe, DH;
7. Mike Lamb, 3B;
8. Brendan Harris, 2B;
9. Adam Everett, SS.

2 thru 5 looks solid (2 thru 6 is great too if Monroe turns it around or if Kubel starts to slot in and picks up where he left off.) Interesting that Lamb, Harris, and Everett who we acquired in the offseason are the 'speedbumps' in this lineup. I guess that is the same as having Bartlett, Casilla, & Punto with some better gloves.

Mark your calendars: March 31st, opening day, Livan Hernandez and your new look Twinkies v. Torii and the Angels (ESPN2 is gonna carry it.)

Hmmm, that lineup actually passes the eyeball test, but you're right, 7 through 9 are huge question marks. It's weird to be more worried about the pitching than the hitting...although it is conceivable we'll be worrying about both as of about May 1.
