The Strib and the Pioneer Press did a preview on the Twins in Saturday's edition. In the Strib's front cover of the baseball preview, it featured how Joe and Justin will carry them to the promise land. In the Pioneer Press's front cover of the baeball preview, it featured them as the Twins version of Maris and Mantle.

I sure would love to see those two be our version of Maris and Mantle. I know Justin will do his thing. Joe will do his thing too as long as he is healthy.

I thought it was interesting that the papers would feature Joe Mauer as the centerpiece of the team considering he is a question mark with his health. Even if Joe and Justin have a great year. I like to see them do this for 5 to 6 years before they would be considered in the same sentence as Maris and Mantle.

I sure hope those two can do some damage this year.

I dont think Joe will be the big HR guy. I think he is going to be a great hitter a Tony Gwynn type player. A great great number 3 in the order. I think Justin will be a great power hitter as time goes on.
