The Official 2006 Minnesota Twins Season Thread®

Davey Eckstein · 03-31-2006, 01:36 PM

Let's get this thing started! Since we don't have much a chance at winning first, it's a race for second against the White Sox!

Random Predictions:
Mauer stays healthy for 140 games.
Morneau hits 30 homers.
Hunter misses at least 20 games due to injury.
Liriano is in the rotation by the end of the year.
Lohse is traded at the deadline.
Santana wins the Cy Young!

Phils offer Urbina, arsonist, in exchange for Liriano, DUI.

Yes, that would indeed be the team offseason thread.

molarmite · 03-31-2006, 03:26 PM

I see, this is the season thread. My mistake.

Jeremy Weimer · 03-31-2006, 03:27 PM

What a bitch. Not even in the big time yet and he's already getting arrested for DUI's?

Hopefully he'll make it up during the season.

I'd like him to take Baker's rotation spot.

I think the only reason is because of Baker's experience. Loriano will take over his spot in a month or so.

BTW 1000th post.

are you saying that the Twins and Sox will be fighting for 2nd place?

magnet · 03-31-2006, 03:45 PM

Santana, Radke, Silva, Baker, Liriano

That will be our Front 5 by May 1st. At least it should be.

I already corrected him, but nobody seemed to notice.

I wonder what they're gonna get for Lohse.

crackpott · 03-31-2006, 04:27 PM

Is opening day Santana vs. Halladay? What are likely the top two pitchers in the AL facing off... should be interesting...
