More Morneau
Great news for Twins fans, bad news for the rest of the AL Central. Morneau appears to have FINALLY recovered from his concussion. He was cleared by his doctors to play in today's Twins B game. He went 1-2 with a 3 run double in 4 innings on the field. The Twins believe he will make his first Grapefruit league appearance on Thursday when the Twins fittingly face the Blue Jays. Having had 8 months to recover from his concussion, there doesn't seem to be any reason why Morneau wouldn't be at 100%. With Delmon Young scheduled to return to action soon, Liriano slated to pitch tomorrow against the Orioles, and both Nathan and Neshek having strong springs - this team suddenly doesn't look as banged up as before. If Justin can return to MVP form, this team will be one to watch.

Interesting thoughts. I think you're spot on: A healthy Justin Morneau and a full season of a stellar Neshek-Capps-Nathan relief corps is more than enough to counter the South Side additions of Adam Dunn and the Motor City debut of an aging Victor Martinez.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts exactly. Not to mention the Sox and Tigers are typically awful down the stretch (Detroit fell apart two years ago, the White Sox are veritable choke artists), and the Twins have one of the easiest September schedules I've seen.
ReplyDeleteHey maybe the Twins will be bi-winning now.
