And Boston is a significantly warmer park than Target Field will be in April.  They do get their share of back door cold fronts from the maritimes in Boston, but on the whole, the average weather conditions in Boston are a good step warmer than in Minneapolis in the spring and fall...there's a reason Boston is in climate zone 6 and Minneapolis is in climate zone 3 (drastically shorter growing season, more frost-bitten nights, more extremes of weather in both directions, more wind, less rain).  Minneapolis is the classic "continental" climate and the Twins are going to suffer some hellish baseball conditions as a result.
I also note that their hitters are all groundball guys, which will KILL them in the switch to natural grass and their pitchers are all flyball pitchers, which will hurt them rather badly in the summer time when the wind is blowing straight out to center most of the time.  In other words...they're built totally wrong for their park.
