Minnesota Twins

To get an idea of just how much injuries can effect the success of a team, take a look at the 2011 Minnesota Twins.  In 2010 the Twins were AL Central champs and building on their playoff streak, but in 2011, amidst a slew of injuries, the team fell to an AL worst 63-99. On the bright-side, attendance rose in 2011 which could probably be accredited to the fact Target Field is one of the league’s most impressive stadiums. Since it was opened in January of 2010, Target Field has topped both ESPN and SportsBusiness Journal’s best stadiums list.
 
Looking to next season, the Twins have a pair of former MVPs anchoring their lineup including catcher Joe Mauer and first-basemen Justin Morneau. While Mauer and Morneau have been familiar faces to Twins fans, the rest of the roster went through some changes this off-season.  Under new GM Teddy Ryan, Minnesota added pitcher Jason Marquis and outfielder Josh Willingham but lost two solid players in Joe Nathan and Michael Cuddyer. It’s going to be very interesting watching how these moves will effect the Twins in 2012 season, and if you want to find out first hand call Gold Coast Tickets today.  We’re you’re source to Minnesota Twins tickets home or away all season long.
