    But didn’t like 15 or 16 starting 1st baseman have an OPS of .780 or better last year?

    Mancini should be in LF at home with Yordan at DH.

    I would guess Yordan is a better outfielder and has more range and a better arm.

    I have no issues with playing Mancini in left but not always at home and not instead of Alvarez.

    A rotation to keep both fresh and healthy is what I would hope for and expect.

    One fewer than Bobby Cox, and he made the playoffs 16 times, won over 100 games 6 times, and went to the WS 5 times. It is hard.

    I gotta say that I’ve heard no mention of cheating from Mn sports or even fans the last two days. There seems to be genuine respect and even awe of the Stros from Twins nation.

    Listening to the Minny broadcast tonight. They're pretty good.

    Bert Blyleven is the Twins’ color guy and he would circle people on the screen during broadcast. People show up at games now with signs saying “Circle me Bert!l

    Nice.

    Bert "Be Home" Blyleven was one of Chris Berman's better efforts

    Well, it's easier to justify Mancini play LF at home that doesn't exploit his def liability and give Yordan a break and play DH.
