Description: Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said that Chris Parmelee will start the season as the team's first baseman and Justin Morneau as the designated hitter.
| Insight: Parmelee batted just .261 this spring, but hit five homers, knocked in 13 runs and posted a .886 OPS. The move allows the team to protect Morneau's health and get some added pop in a lineup missing both Michael Cuddyer and Jason Kubel this year. | | |
