Thoughts on the Twins 2008 Season

The Minnesota Twins are the perfect cure for winter time blues. And take a look, their season is here. I would like to give a little preview for your enjoyment.
Primary Concerns:
The first concern lies in centerfield. We need to find some one to replace VicToriia Hunter. As you can probably guess, I wasn't a fan of his. It appears that the Twins have some candidates to fill the job. However, the problem is that none of them are capable of filling Hunter's stats. Carlos Gomez, Denard Span, and Jason Pridie look like good young players with a lot of potential, but I want to win now, so this might blow. And I suppose any of these three can hit popups to short and strike out in the clutch. My vote goes for Gomez, due to his speed and arm strength. Also, since he barely knows english, his sound bites will be hilarious.
The starting rotation is going to be a damn mess since Johan Santana was traded away. Having a lights out stopper every 5 days is a luxury we won't even be close to having. My votes for the rotation goes as follows: 1. Livan Hernandez 2. Scott Baker 3. Francisco Liriano 4. Boof Bonser 5. Anybody who can get it over the plate. Our fifth spot is a mess. Odds are good that the spot will go to Kevin Slowey, with any outside shot of it being Nick Blackburn. Blackburn has some good stuff, but last year he got shelled in September and that is the lasting image in my mind. Glen Perkins is another possibility, but he also spends most of his time watching Metrodome fans throw back homerun balls. It appears as if Slowey is the lesser of 3 evils.
The second base competition can be summed up in 2 words: Not Punto. His good defense is trumped by inability to put wood on the ball. Alexi Casilla is my choice. His speed is reason enough to get him some work in the big leagues.
Key Addition(s)
Delmon Young is the only addition that matters. His bat is going to make this summer pretty sweet. We've always been a team focused on pitching and defense. Screw that. I want offense and Delmon is the guy for the job. With him sandwiched between Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau we have our own version of a murderer's row. We also improved on offense with former Twin killer Craig Monroe and third basemen Mike Lamb. They should provide a little punch where we lacked in the past. With our pitching situation the way it is, our offense is going to need this extra punch. I'm thinking like 5 runs a game if we want to be competitive. It will be entertaining regardless.
Big Prediction
This might be a little bold, but I'm thinking we'll go about...160-2. Kevin Slowey will be responsible for those 2 losses. I'm pretty confident that's how it's going to go.
