The Minnesota Twins did not have the stuff of a mid-market team efficiently returning on fans investment in Twins tickets to Target Field last season. Instead, the desperation signings were exposed as huge failures and the cornerstones of the offense came up quite short. Injuries lingered, ending Morneau and Mauer’s seasons early. In 2012, the Twins must hope for health amongst all other things to rescue the season.

About The Minnesota Twins
Justin Morneau is coming back from his second concussion and enough surgery to be called the bionic man. Morneau needs to return the hitter capable of leading the league in batting average, on base percentage, and hit 30-plus homeruns. Mauer’s 28 homerun season may be an aberration, but his league leading batting average and on base percentage are not. Together, even if these are not the Bash Brothers reincarnate, they can compel a baseball team to score enough runs to be competitive. The additional power hitting of new right fielder Josh Willingham and the contact hitting of new DH/catcher Ryan Doumit could be enough to reinvigorate the Twins batting order.
Minnesota’s starting rotation and bullpenleave much to be desired. Carl Pavano is not an ace pitcher, but a midseason acquisition to replace a struggling prospect. Francisco Liriano exists to frustrate Twins fans. Scott Baker and Nick Blackburn could be a decent duo at the very back of the order, but they are the middle of the pack here. Jason Marquis is a once promising pitcher who has seemingly lost his way.
The Twins bullpen has Glen Perkins and Alex Burnett setting up Matt Capps. Capps did not live up to his billing last season but he has a second opportunity in 2012. Hopefully, Minnesota’s offense can help provide him with more than a mere 24 opportunities to prove his worth. The TicketSpecialists have these Minnesota Twins tickets to see if this baseball team truly has what it takes to play competitive ball.
