Do the Twins have what it takes to be World Series champs? They have some awesome young talent and a good pitching staff. Will last year's playoff experience be enough for them if they make the playoffs this year?

I think they got a good thing going and hopefully they can make the playoffs. But I think Oakland and New York are the big dogs in the American League. What do you think?

Yep, With the experience in play-off hunt they had last year, they should definitely have a shot at winning their division.

Not sure White Sox have improved enough to beat the Twins.

All ya need to do is get to the play-offs, after that, anything can happen.

just ask the Angels

I think their hitting is solid and the other question mark is if hawkins and JC remain solid in the set-up roles, both of those guys throw at least 95 so when you are coming in to relieve later in the game after the SP has lost a little sizzle, or radke with his put you sleep change-up and bring in one of hawk or jc bringing 95-97 MPH for 1 or 2 inning and then bring in everyday eddie with his BS, cause I really don't like him as a closer, but I guess he gets the job done.

in summary there are going to be many games where they start off 1-0 because jones can swing that back and if guzzie and dougie ment can return to their 01 form I don't think they can be beat. Mohr and the other younger guys play very good and all of them can hit.

I sure hope they win it all. and gardy keeps them very loose, in afew years gardy will be considered one of the very good coaches. TK hated young guys, didn't give them a chance and they like playing for gardy.
