Just picked up a preseason annual, published on something called "paper." Yes, they still make those. Anyway, they've got the Twins finishing third because they "lost a couple of key pieces."
Will Twins Plummet From First Place To Third?

Which ones, exactly? Just about everyone's back except Orlando Hudson, J.J. Hardy and Jesse Crain. Sure, those guys will be missed. But they weren't exactly All-Stars, and if Justin Morneau's back the Twins should be fine. After all, this is a team that won 94 games with Morneau for just half a season and Joe Nathan for no season at all. Baseball's a funny game and they might finish third, but that seems like a reach.
