2012 OSFM: Minnesota Twins

[moose616]

I have taken over the Minnesota Twins organization, including my hometown Red Wings.

I'm going to be copying SLAB's Tigers thread a little bit, since his is well organized.

THIS SPREADSHEET will provide more details about each player.

Re: 2012 OSFM: Minnesota Twins

Glad to see someone took the Twins over. I did them last year with some help from a few others. Wasn't able to do it this year with work. Good luck, and if you need any help, I may be able to offer some.

Just curious as to why you have Brian Duensing penciled in as being with the Wings?

I put Duesning with the Wings because I had to trim one guy off the 25-man. With the addition of Zumaya, it was at 26. I assume Duensing would be the number six starter. I couldn't see putting Nishioka, Hughes, or Plouffe down in Rochester.

Either way, it's just a preliminary roster. Things change all the time. I welcome any other help you could provide.

Thanks for taking this over this year! I helped cnelly last year and am too busy with work as well.

Duensing is going to back to the bullpen this year and with Zumaya out for the year that should be an easy fix for you.

Trevor Plouffe is moving to the OF this yr as well.

Also, just an FYI you have Joe Benson listed in AAA and AA.

Thanks guys, I very well may need the help. I'm a Rochester native and try to keep up on the Wings as best as possible, but having lived in Denver the past six years has made it difficult.

MauerMorneau, do you want to the equipment or ratings?

Sweet. I'm about to go to Walmart in an hour to get mine, but I won't be starting on the rosters til tomorrow. I'll establish the roster's foundation and information. Then I'll send on to you to work on equipment.

Alright thanks for giving the equipment to me I'll finally have something to do, and also do you think we need to tell knight about this? Just wanna make sure he's aware of the change.

I don't think it's that big of a deal. It's under my name and I'm the one delegating it out. As long as it's done well, and it actually gets finished, I can't imagine it'll make a difference.

Alright then nvm the last part of the msg i said. I'll get back to you later.

Re: 2012 OSFM: Minnesota Twins

I suppose I'll post an update:

For me, the first step was to create each player's name and position. As of right now:

ALL 90 SPOTS ARE FILLED

A: Players taken from MLB's 2012 Prospect Watch that are not in AA or AAA

Pitchers are becoming incredibly difficult to narrow down. There are about 20 pitchers that I have listed for 10 spots on each level. I know things will be more clear as spring training progresses, so things may change in the coming weeks.

Next up tomorrow: Ratings
