Record: 82-80

Joseph Patrick has a good year and is signed to an extension to finish his career as a Twin.

Brian Dozier is traded at the deadline.


Edit: I will give a extra 4 wins for the Lynn signing. New total is up top
Sergeant Rubetube has edited twice already....

My prediction? 69-93. :lol:

88-74

I think we improved but were also pretty lucky last year. I like our rotation if Ervin can come back and play like he did. LoMo adds a lot of pop to the line-up and Sano didn't get suspended. I also think Byron takes the next step!

90-72. Tough to see them getting past the Yankees or Astros in the playoffs though.

I see 85-77....
I like a lot of the moves in the off-season.
But I have a few concerns still...
· I hope the Twins aren't going to stick with Rodney if he sucks very long...Reed has looked better this Spring.
· With Polanco out, the Twins might have a real problem if someone gets injured.
· Sano....something about him doesn't give me the same confidence as lets Buxton.

I'm liking my prediction so far. Looks like a very mediocre club. Lots of ups and downs this year I think. Should finish .500 or slightly better :scooter:

Lol. Yeah, I said 82-80. When I checked this a few weeks ago I didn't think they would be close.

The Twins had a really odd home/away record this year:
- home 49-32, tied for 7th best in MLB, equal or better than 5 (of 10) of the Playoff teams.
- away 29-52, 5th worst in MLB, yet only 3rd worst in the Division

The AL Central was awful as a whole:
- 1 team with a winning record
- 2 (of 3) teams with 100 loses
- a combined 353-457 for a .436 win %
- Twins easily finished 2nd in the Division (+14 ahead of 3rd), yet wouldn't have finished any higher than 4th in any of the other 5 Divisions.
