1) The dimensions at the new stadium are similar to the dome
2) it's even more reason to win considering they now have a new park, and because that thing will sell out all season now.
3) They have picked up a number of solid role players and have a relatively healthy staff (aside from Nathan).
Too many reasons for them to win. And the AL Central has and will continue to be a shit division, and exactly what other team(s) are there to defeat us? none.
1.) While the Twins did pick up some solid players such as Hudson, their pitching just doesn't stack up to the Sox's staff of Buehrle, Peavy, Floyd, and Danks.
2.)The loud noise, white roof, quick turf, and the right-field wall provided a substantial home-field advantage for the Twins. Now with a new open air stadium, that substantial home-field advantage is gone.
