I know it's early in the season but I'm starting to wonder just how good the Twins can be.
They beat an awful Royals team 10-3 today. Yawn. But they took two of three from Boston this week and their lineup is absolutely loaded. Other than the Yankees, is there any AL team with a better middle of the order than Mauer-Morneau-Cuddyer-Kubel? And they're surrounded by some excellent table-setters.
It's important that Francisco Liriano becomes an ace but if he continues on his early-season path, that thought isn't far-fetched. Imagine how good they would be with Joe Nathan healthy and Jon Rauch setting things up along with Matt Guerrier. As it is, I think this could be a 100-win team.
