The Twins signaled their belief they can contend this year by signing Kendrys Morales. The addition of Morales has significant implications for several players on the Twins roster.
Joba Chamberlain has pitched extremely well as set-up for Joe Nathan while Nathan has struggled mightily. Could Chamberlain displace Nathan at some point?
Looking at skills, Cleveland closer John Axford has gotten off to a poorer start than last year when he lost his job in Milwaukee. Who would replace Axford if he continues to struggle?
With Avisail Garcia out for the year, Dayan Viciedo and Alejandro de Aza should see more AB than expected. Each should be a prime FA target if either is available.
Spring Training showed that the Tigers would run much more than they have in recent years. Several Tigers will post significantly improved SB totals as a result.
Manager Robin Ventura finally named Matt Lindstrom the closer on Opening Day. He also announced that left field will be shared by Alejandro De Aza and Dayan Viciedo.
