7 things This Gal can’t wait to see this season|Tsuyoshi Nishioka2010 stats: .346 ABG 11 HR 59 RBI I don’t know a lot about Tsuyoshi Nishioka. What I do know is that the Twins have signed him to a three-year $9 million contract, he’ll be the starting second baseman and his wife is a model. He’s also the reigning batting champ back in Japan which means little to me since my knowledge of Japanese baseball is about as extensive as my knowledge of Nishioka himself. Nevertheless, the Twins have had a lot of second basemen in the six short years that I’ve been actively watching the Twins, I can think of four off the top of my head. If Nishioka is what everyone says he is, it’d be great for him to finally fill that void.

7 things This Gal can’t wait to see this season|Delmon Young repeating his 2010 season2010 stats: .298 AVG .333 OBP .493 SLG 21 HR 112 RBI I’m still not on the Delmon Young bandwagon. Yes, it’s because of the trade of Matt Garza and Jason Bartlett in 2008. What can I say? I hold baseball grudges. But last season there was a ray of hope for me to become a full time fan of Young when he began to show what so many people have been telling me is so great about him. I still wouldn’t call him great, but I’m starting to see the potential that so many people have been talking about.

7 things This Gal can’t wait to see this season|Joe Nathan’s Return2009 stats: 47 saves 2.10 ERA 89 Strikeouts There was no baseball related news that had broke my heart more than hearing that Joe Nathan would need Tommy John surgery and would likely miss the entire 2010 season. I had thought the worse after hearing the news, ‘he’s never going to play again. His career is over.’ Now, after he’s made a few appearances in Spring Training, I’m excited to see him on the mound in a regular season game. The most exciting part is seeing whether he’ll be able to compete at the level that everybody is used to from him.
