Twins didn’t overhaul their roster this past off-season, instead they are hoping they their budding stars will mature and the wins total will grow with their development.
That, and Minnesota is hoping for rebound seasons from two of their veterans who are coming off injury-shortened seasons.
Phil Hughes and Glen Perkins are leaders on the team, in the starting rotation and bullpen, respectively. But Hughes was limited to just 11 starts, before undergoing surgery for thoracic outlet syndrome. And Perkins appeared in only the opening series of the season before being shut down.
