Welcome to the first official 2016 season Tuesday Twins Talk! Here's the links:
- Target Field is holding an event for reporters today at 11 am to show off their new food offerings, which apparently includes poutine.
- Brian Dozier feels the team's confidence level is the highest it's been in the past five years.
- Unsurprisingly, Jim Pohlad says Paul Molitor can manage the Twins for as long as he wants.
- Our old friend Dave DeLand from the St. Cloud Times is
off the rails againactually making some sense?
- Byung-Ho Park played in a major league park for the first time last weekend, and was not at all phased by the size. In fact, quite the opposite.
- The 2016 Twins payroll of $105.3 million ranks 18th in MLB.
- I missed this during Spring Training, but Jim Souhan did another podcast with Eddie Guardado (and no stories about toothbrushes this time).
- Glen Perkins on wanting to stay healthy throughout the season: "I don't like needles."
- This Week In The Band: Jacque Jones served his first MLB game as the Nationals assistant hitting coach yesterday, where he got a front row seat to AJ Pierzynski dropping a ball and essentially losing the game for the opposing Braves.
- Speaking of The Band, LEN3 wrote a piece Saturday comparing the 2000s Twins to today's Twins.
- The Star Tribune held a round table discussion with LEN3, Patrick Reusse, and Jack Morris yesterday, and you can listen to the recording here.
