Its snowing across much of southern Minnesota as I type this, but at least we know baseball is in the forecast not too far away!

A few questions to ponder....
-Who begins as the DH, Thome or Kubel?
-Where does Nishioka play in the field (2B or SS?) and bat in the order (2nd or bottom-third?)
-What starting pitcher moves to the bullpen?

I think Thome should be the primary DH, but he won't be able to do it full-time at his age. I think Nishioka will play SS and Casilla will probably be the primary 2nd baseman. As far as where he will bat, who knows at this point. I'd assume that Gardy would like him batting leadoff or 2nd if possible given his potentially good OBP and base stealing abilities.
