Treatment Bound: A Minnesota Twins Preview

The first in a series of looks at the competition for the crown in the mediocrity that is the 2010 AL Central.
Dates we play them: 4/9-4/11 at home, 5/11-5/12 and 7/15-7/18 @ MIN, 8/10-8/12 at home, 8/17-8/19@ MIN, 9/14-9/16 at home
Offense: A potential lineup: Denard Span-CF, Orlando Hudson-2B, Joe Mauer-C, Justin Morneau-1B, Jason Kubel-DH, Michael Cuddyer-RF, Delmon Young-LF, J.J. Hardy-SS, Nick Punto-3B. Bench: Jim Thome-DH, Brendan Harris-IF, Alexi Cassila-IF, Wilson Ramos-C.
That is a lot of lefties. Span, Mauer, Morneau, and Kubel all live permanently in the first-base side of the batters' box, with Hudson and Punto getting the majority of their swings in as southpaws as well. Denard Span is yet another product of the vaunted 2002 draft class. He rejected a $2 million pre-draft deal from Colorado to go 9th overall and wound up slipping on down to the Twins at pick 20. Until 2008, it looked like he was never going to make it. he proceeded to dominate AAA that year and eventually took over duties in center last year from the hated and offensively-challenged Carlos Gomez. Span is an on-base machine with plus speed that hasn't translated into great success at stealing bases (70.6% success rate). He's not that great in center, but he's the best Minnesota has ready so its his spot. Oh, Orlando Hudson, greatest Sox second baseman of all time. How could you go to the land of 10,000 lakes? Perhaps he's a really big Craig T. Nelson fan. O-Dog is in the decline phase of his career, but has still yet to underperform a contract. He is a huge upgrade for the Twins, as his signing moves Alexi Casilla and his abysmal .301 career-OBP to the bench. Hudson will act as an old-school two-hole hitter. Joe Mauer is the best catcher in baseball. Seriously, he's a freak. Having one of the best pure hitters in the game as your catcher is a huge advantage. He still runs well, but doesn't steal as often as he used to. The power spike was extreme, but probably not a fluke. His average will go down this year, but will still be above .320. Justin Morneau is their other left-handed, MVP-award winning monster. The incredibly superstitious Canadian is a constant threat to go deep, without the high strikeout totals that tend to come with 30+ homer power. His back could be a major problem, as he missed the end of the season last year with a stress fracture in his back.
Jason Kubel finally broke-out last year, posting a .907 OPS. 2008 was his first season as a DH, and the switch seems to have agreed well with him. He will see some time in the outfield this season, spelling Delmon Young while Jim Thome breaks all of our hearts by mashing for the Twinks. That being said, I wouldn't be shocked if Jason tumbled back to Earth slightly next year. Michael Cuddyer is becoming Jermaine Dye. His bat is fantastic, but he really shouldn't be playing in right. Delmon Young is never going to live up to his hype and potential. The Rays absolutely robbed Minnesota when they managed to get Jason Bartlett and Matt Garza for him. The minor league numbers never translated to big league success and he's an absolute butcher in left. J.J. Hardy is a good bounce-back candidate, though he'll probably never look as good as he did in 2008 again. He has some pop and is above-average in the field. Nick Punto is a little guy who likes sliding head-first into first base. He has no power and very little ability to get on base in general. He is quick and solid defensively.
Pitching: A potential rotation: Scott Baker-RHP, Kevin Slowey-RHP, Carl Pavano-RHP, Nick Blackburn-RHP, Francisco Liriano-LHP
Not the sexiest of rotations. There isn't anyone in this rotation that is likely going to top 180 strikeouts or post an ERA lower than 3.70. Baker is the ace by default. He posts a solid K:BB ratio, but allows more flyballs than I would be comfortable with having the terrifying outfield defense he has supporting him. He relies heavily on his fastball and slider, occasionally throwing in a curveball or a changeup. If Slowey can rebound well from his season-ending wrist surgery, he could post some good numbers. He has the same repertoire as Baker, but tends to miss more bats. Glass Carl finally pitched more than 100 innings in a season for the first time since leaving Florida in 2004. He's fairly uninteresting, throwing a fastball, changeup and slider. If he can repeat last year's performance (3.7 WAR), that would be amazing. I don't see it happening. Nick Blackburn is a slightly above-average innings eater. He depends heavily on his defense, as he gets more groundballs than anything. Liriano is the most intriguing member. He terrorized the American League in 2006, but hasn't been able to find the same success since his Tommy John surgery in November of that year. His slider hasn't been nearly as effective as it used to be, and until he gets it back he won't be anything more than a fifth-starter. The always reliable Joe Nathan is not going to be pitching this year, as its just a matter of time until he makes his appointment with Dr. Andrews. This leaves an opening at the back of the bullpen that will most likely be filled by former Sox giant Jon Rauch, since he has closing experience.
Outlook: As has been the case for the past seven years, the Twins are once again in contention for the AL Central crown. However, injuries are a rather large potential problem for this team. Is Morneau's back fully healed? Can Joe Mauer's knees continue to support his massive frame? Will Jim Thome be able to stay in one piece without Herm? I don't know. I do know that the Twins will be the main competition for a playoff spot that the White Sox will see all season though. Sox win season series 11-7.

Great set of links
Was very curious how the weather would play. My experience up here led me to think that wind would create a more home run friendly set up. Appears not to be the case.

Found here. That deals with wind. Part three deals with foul territory. I’ve got no idea whatsoever how predictive it is. He suggests that it’ll be the AL version of Petco.

When Delmon Young came through the SAL league I saw him play right a couple times.

He was a big boy for 18 though. Too many scouts fall in love with size.

Off-the-field problems
In 1996, Dukes’ father was convicted of second-degree murder. One year later, Dukes was arrested for the first time. Dukes has been arrested at least three times for battery, and once for assault.7 According to court records, he fathered at least five children with four women between 2003 and 2006.7
On May 23, 2007, it was reported that his wife filed a restraining order after he threatened to kill her.8 On June 12, a 17-year-old foster child who was living in the care of a relative of Dukes accused him of impregnating her.9 Police said the sex was apparently consensual.9 When the girl confronted Dukes, he allegedly got angry and threw a bottle of Gatorade at her.9
Dukes has received anger-management training.7 When Dukes was traded to the Nationals, the team also hired an ex-police officer in the role of “Special Assistant: Player Concerns”. This person accompanies Dukes everywhere to ensure that he keeps himself free of trouble.7

Got to the point that I couldn’t even watch games in that stadium the last year or two. Sox have a lead in the sixth? They’ll blow it after a Twin rally started by some crap astro turf slap single. It certainly can’t be worse and I don’t think the Twins will have much in terms of starting or relief pitching, so 11-7 sounds right and we should win the central with a win total in the high 80’s

i would never short AIG. it's a split adjusted $1.50 stock with a 25% short interest.
it’s had huge short squeezes before and will have short squeezes again. very dangerous. i was trading it heavily in the last week+. as the volume dries up i’ll leave it alone again.
personally, i’m not holding any shorts right now. i have been shorting X on and off above the $60 level. it had a big bounce after it’s selloff to $43 and i think it’s about due for another selloff.
i think this market is a house of cards, but i have no inclination as to when it will fold. i’m scalping and making short-term plays in the meantime, and i’m making individual stock plays and not any broad sentiments.

They have issues but its not anywhere near horrible and does have upside. The OF defense will hurt but methinks they hurt more from offensive regression this year then their starting pitching bombing.

I still don't buy the bat bouncing back
but there’s an argument to be made that an in-shape Jones is our second best outfield defender, somewhere in the way of 5-to-10 in the corners and average in CF. If that’s the case, someone ought to be in Ozzie’s ear telling him that the best way to leverage this is Jones in LF or RF and Pierre or Quentin at DH.
Then again, this is the same manager who will likely use Omar Vizquel at DH at some point this season, so I’m not sure logic holds much weight here.
by CWSKeith on Mar 17, 2010 6:48 PM CDT up reply actions 3 recs
We'll see.
Jones really abused himself doing the “insert here” era but he’s still a pretty good athlete. Part of me thinks without the injury last year the Sox probably can’t even grab him. There is this rush to lump all his recent abs together when there are some clear separation of fat stages. Jones showed power last year. Improved his contact % and hit fly balls. That’s probably a recipe for decent numbers in the cell. The only thing I was curious to see was he “really” in better shape. He is. He won’t have a high batting average. Who cares?

on a more serious note, what is with this "shoulder pain" with beckham?
you’d think these guys would at least be playing long toss a couple times a week in the offseason. Strange that he would go that long without throwing. I’d imagine he focused all hit time on getting stronger and didn’t really do much flexibility and work on the rotator cuff health, etc.
If so, I’m surprised because the Sox are known for having a top notch medical staff. I guess in the offseason there is only so much you can do to make sure everyone is doing the right training.
In the long run it probably is meaningless, every ball player that comes into spring after a long winter experiences some arm pain. I always remember how great I felt that first day in the Florida heat and then after about a week of constant throwing I was as ready as anyone else to move to the reduced throwing of the regular season.
