Torii Hunter on the DL

Along with Mauer and LeCroy - I don't wish injuries on players, but there is a good chance the Twins can start the season with a terrible start and maybe knock themselves out early. Too bad we don't face them until late May.

jeez,they are droppin like flies over there.

Lost both of their catchers (LeCroy and Mauer) - that could spell major trouble. Hopefully we can capitalize on it. Those guys have been fairly fortunate injury-wise except a few Ps over the past few years.

Rivas broken hand, Mientkiewicz wrist, Koskie back, Jones knee, Guzman shoulder, Hocking hand...and those are just some of the non-pitcher injuries over the past two years. You must be thinking of a different team.

I forgot about Mientdlkjasdfkswz wrist. How much time did Koskie and Jones miss? as far as Guzman - you guys are better off without him sometimes. I am not a big fan.

In either case, you are right - I forgot a few injuries. My bad.

But losing Mauer, LeCroy and Hunter all at once is worse than any prior injury conditions you guys have had, right?

No question. I agree about Guzman, too. Looking forward to Punto playing more at SS.

Punto, I don't know if he can keep it up, has been playing pretty well for them. Although, I would still rather have him in the lineup than Hunter. If not for defense alone.

That new surface in the garbage bag is taking a toll.

Note: None of the injuries were turf-related.
