This year, the Twins believe they will be in the postseason for the first time in six years.
"There are higher expectations this year," Dozier said. "This is the first time in my career I've come in not wanting to win, but expecting to win. The depth is there that good teams around the league have."
The Twins have one of the younger rosters in the Majors, especially in the outfield with Eddie Rosario, 24, in left field, Byron Buxton, 22, in center and Miguel Sano, 22, in right. The Twins are hopeful that full seasons from that trio will help an offense that finished second-to-last in on-base percentage last year.
