The Twins essentially had each for only half of 2011


What’s the best business in 2011? Sure, it is online sale, no doubt. However, a big plus for the Twins at this point is that at least the corner infield positions seem to be solidified. Last year, first baseman Justin Morneau was having an MVP-type season before suffering a concussion that ended his season in July after only 81 games. He was hitting .345 with 18 home runs and 56 RBI at the time. Then, over the second half of the season, rookie call-up Danny Valencia emerged as an outstanding third baseman at the plate and in the field. He hit .311 and with seven home runs and 40 RBI, with all but three RBI coming after the All-Star break.

The Twins essentially had each for only half of 2010, when they won the AL Central by six games. If Morneau and Valencia can stay healthy -- and if Morneau can hit like he did before he left the lineup and if Valencia can hit like he did after he joined it -- the Twins could overcome the second base and shortstop question marks.

Bud Grant's theory that athletic ability is important but durability is just as or more important has followed the Twins in recent years. Last season, they led the major leagues with 13 players spending time on the disabled list, including key players such as Morneau.Phiten necklace, buy cheap phiten necklaces, 70% off.
