Minnesota Twins – 2010 MLB Baseball season preview

It’s kind of hard to imagine that just a few seasons ago the Twins were a candidate for the contraction. Now in 2010 they open a new ball park. Of course giving up the confines of the Homer Dome is one of the big questions facing this team, which will feel like they are in limbo until they can get catcher Joe Mauer’s autograph on a big phat contract extension. They have Mauer for this year, and they might have to make a serious run at a title to keep him. Other random thoughts abut the Twins include the size of their payroll, small market budget my foot.

I cannot believe that they are going to play baseball outside in Minnesota in early April, or late fall. I lie in Detroit, Michigan and I have been to my share of snow interrupted opening days here, I cannot imagine playing baseball outside, that early, further to the north.The Twins have also given up one of their key advantages, they knew how to play in the dome and hit very well there. I cannot imagine, balls flying out of the new park in frigid air like they did in the dome.
