3) This is kind of a no brainer, that we need good pitching this year, but there is one pitcher that sticks out for me is Francisco Liriano. It is very intriguing because, he has had a fantastic spring this year and I think that Liriano still has a great arm and that he can still be a fantastic pitcher. I believe that he is going to be one of the key to success for the Twins this season, they need him to be the Francisco Liriano, when he was at his best, he just needs to keep calm and not get all wild like he tended to do last year, including the game that he threw his No-Hitter against the Chicago White Sox.
4) Brian Duensing moving to the bullpen is going to make our bullpen even stronger! He is definitely a great pitcher and he has actually had better numbers in the bullpen. He is going to be there to set up Matt Capps with Glen Perkins and he is going to have to have a lot of success, because the Twins have a virtually new bullpen compared to a few years ago.
5)Having a consistant 2B and SS combo is going to be so important! The Twins infield made so many errors last year and a lot of people think it is because the players never had a chance to get comfortable with each others style of play. There were so many different combo's in the middle infield. A lot of the Twins pitchers are groundout pitchers and it is going to be so important for them to have a second baseman and shortstop to be comfortable, with simple things like the fundamentals.
