Predictions 2010
A couple of weeks ago, Josh
Johnson e-mailed Twins bloggers and said that on April 2, we should
post our 2010 predictions. The Twins 25 man roster is set. I will be attending
the Twins/Cardinals exhibition later today. If you happen to be watching on TV,
I’ll be in the left field, lower level bleachers right down the line, 3rd
row. Hopefully there will be batting practice. Albert Pujols and Matt Holliday hitting shot after shot. Could be
fun.
But back to
predictions. They are always fun
to do. Why? Because if they are accurate, at the end of the
season I’ll remind you about them. And if they are
wrong? Well, we’ll just forget about them… right? So, I will post my
Twins predictions, and AL and NL awards, and you can add your predictions in
the comments.
