The roster isn't getting any younger. Morneau's a wild card, Nathan's a wild card, Cuddy & Frankie are up after this year. Mauer's good to go but he's an injury away from being a singles-hitting DH. <br /><Ed Bastnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394137.post-65907711224361909642010-12-13T10:33:33.710-06:002010-12-13T10:33:33.710-06:00Unlike many, I find that I often agree with TT.

I think all the criticisms of the Twins moves is a good thing, it means people are interested in the Twins. <br /><br />What I think is that the Twins are good at having a plan and then working the plan. During the last decade they have consistently built a team that fit the Dome very well.

It may also indicate they aren't comfortable with Plouffe as an alternative or Tolbert as the backup at shortstop either.<br /><br />In any case, Ryan is going to Seattle.TThttp://grannybaseball.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5394137.post-10995627505288723102010-12-13T09:40:35.316-06:002010-12-13T09:40:35.316-06:00I like your post and agree with you in your analys...I like your post and agree with you in your analysis of Castilla. I don't have any confidence in UZR. Any analysis that says that Punto was a better SS than 2b is damn suspect in my mind. I suspect that Castilla will likely work out at either position and if he does not, the Twins will have a fall back plan.Jim Hnoreply@blogger.com
