ALEXANDRIA, Minn. -- With the Twins coming off a surprise run to the American League Wild Card Game last year, the optimism from fans was palpable during the annual Twins Winter Caravan, which came to a close on Thursday after two weeks with stops in more than 40 communities in the Upper Midwest.
As Twins president Dave St. Peter noted, there are fewer question marks about the roster than in past years, but it's clear from the questions asked from fans at the various stops that they're curious if Minnesota will sign a frontline starter such as Yu Darvish.
