2015 Preview: Minnesota Twins

A lot of young teams that have fallen on tough times are going to bounce back this year, i.e. Miami Marlins, San Diego Padres, Chicago Cubs, etc.

However, one team I think has one more year before they are there is the Minnesota Twins.

To be up front, I love the Twins. I love what they do as an organization with few resources and playing in a tough market, and have found ways to be successful.

Breakout Candidate Profile: Roenis Elias

There’s got to be something in the water in Cuba that gets their pitchers to develop the nastiest sliders you’ve ever seen.

Jose Fernandez has probably the nastiest slider I’ve seen on a right hander.

Obviously Aroldis Chapman has the 100-103 MPH fastball, but his equalizer is that devastating slider.

Add a young Cuban lefty Roenis Elias to that list.

Breakout Candidate Profile: Avisail Garcia

Looking for that next outfielder that’s going to hit you a decent to high average, hit some home runs, steal some bases, and score some runs? Basically do everything you need to help you win your league? Then look no further than White Sox outfielder Avisail Garcia.

Pitchers and Catchers: The Biggest Non-Event of the Year

PITCHERS AND CATCHERS REPORT TODAY!!!!!!!! YES, GET PSYCHED OUT OF YOUR SKULLS!!!!!

I’m sorry friends, but I just can’t. I realize this is the symbolic “starting of baseball” and all that crap, but c’mon, you’re going to get psyched today, and then until spring training games start in another 10-14 days, literally nothing is going to happen.
