Mele courts Twins hope to challenge Yankees in season
Minnesota manager Sam Mele signals cautious optimism about the Twins challenging the World Series champion Yankees. He cites a powerful lineup led by Harmon Killebrew and Bob Allison, solid pitching headlined by 20-game winner Jim Pascual, and depth with left-handed starters like Kaat and Stigman. Mele says the team has no pessimism and will not be hindered by left-handed prevalence, while noting Rollins and Allen must sustain brilliant form from last year.
