I think so too but the team has to think hit and pitch and defend like one. This team is better than 06, but it has to click first before we will have success.
I really hope the Twins continue to improve and get better. If they do, this team will be a playoff team. I really have high hopes on this team. You have to like what they did this month.

coming into the season there were a lot of question marks:
is Young still a jerk? how will the Chemistry in the dugout be? etc.
I think the Twins have overcome that and have really performed well....
I wasn't worried about Delmon being a problem. He has been very good there. I think he knows that he is lucky not only to play for a winning team, but he realizes that he has a career and a family to take care of so he knew that there was a sense of urgency for him to act like a professional.
My concerns was the starting rotation. I was optimistic based on potential, but I also knew that they had some work to do and that they had to prove it. The fact Livan started on Opening Night had to raise a red flag. Who knew how Nick Blackburn would do? Who knew if Baker would be as good as he was last summer?
The only thing I have been down so far is the bullpen.
I will take being 10-11 when you look at teams like Texas or others right now. This team is a work in progress, and it is obvious that you can see the potential.
