Is it Opening Day tomorrow?

With the exception of Scott Baker's recent trip the DL, the 2011 Minnesota Twins as of tomorrow will be at "full strength" as far as the 25 man roster is concerned - basically for the first time all year!  This morning on KFAN, P.A. had Seth Stohs on talking about how potentially potent this lineup could be with everyone back.  Currently 9.5 games behind division leading Detroit with 45 games to play, I am not quite ready to relinquish hope of a comeback just yet.  Once again, we have 9 games left with Detroit, 9 with Cleveland, and 6 with the White Sox.  On Friday our lineup will quickly turn from a lineup filled with Repko, Butera, Hughes, Plouffe, and Dinkleman; to a lineup that is truly "stacked" on paper.  Let's take a look at the possibilities!
