I have not spent much time at all thinking about the Twins over the last several months. Two consecutive rotten seasons and a busy life have left me as disconnected from the team as I have been in 25 years. I am fully aware of the major transactions of the off season (Span, Revere, ect.) but I haven't thought much about what the Twins will look like when they hit the field come April. What will the lineup look like? Is Hicks starting in center? Who will be the every day short stop and second baseman? Let me know your thoughts. I'll list what I anticipate below.

1. Aaron Hicks CF

2. Jamey Carrol 2B

3. Joe Mauer C

4. Josh Willingham LF

5. Justin Morneau 1B

6. Ryan Doumit DH

7. Chris Parmalee RF

8. Trevor Plouffe 3B

9. Pedro Florimon SS
