Have a good lineup with Morneau, Mauer, Hunter, Cuddyer, not to mention all the young talent. But starting pitching staff is a ?. You know Santana will have another great season but what about all the others like Silva, Bonser, Baker, Garza.

Being a Twins fan I hate to say this, but I think third place in the division. They need some more pitching (and better) to fill the holes in the rotation. Poson??????? you really think that will help? Silva MUST step up this year. Bonser and Garza will be fine as will the lineup. I hope that they can pull another rabbit from their hats. You know they will fight hard all season.

KC 5th Minn 4th Det 3rd Cle 2nd Sox 1st. The Twins are already done without Radke and Liriano, Bonser will not have the year he did last year down the stretch. Garza is a bum and I dont even know who Baker is because who cares, and of course Santana will have 20+ and he'll be the only pitcher over .500 wins Lets face it Mauer wont bat .350 again, Cuddyer's HR and RBI's will go down because no one will be on base, Torri Hunter is Torii Hunter and Morneau will come down to earth this year because everyone on their team had carrer years. They will be tired at the beginning of the season, but they wont then win 65 of the last 80 like last year. The Tigers are going to be last years White Sox a pick to go all the way but after the all star break the wheels will fall off and Ordonez will get hurt. Everyone on the Tigers had career years last year and Bonderman is the only one going to do anything. When Justin Verlander started to get popular last year he took a nose dive. Nate Robertson had a career year I guarantee you that he wont have the same year. Kansas City is Kansas City and the Indians are going to sneek up. I live in Chicago and whats happening now is kenny Williams got rid of good players for young players, he is doing the same thing in the off season this year that they did in 2005, trade great players for players that you go like "who" he wants to sneek up on the teams and the experts just like in 2005 watch them to make a run in the second half. KC will have 0- 69 wins Minn will have 75-80 wins Det 78-85 wins Cle 86-90 wins and the Sox 91- 98 wins. Case closed.

They should do alright and contend in the division. If they can get one of the young guys (Bonser, Baker, or Garza) to step up, they should have a very good year. Silva also needs to regain some confidence. It might be rough early, but I think once they find the groove they will do well, kind of like 2006.

The Twins have a great team. It will come down to how well the Tigers start again. If the Tigers start 07 the way they finished, then the Twins should win the Division with about 97 wins

The Twins will once again contend for The Central Division title.
I see The Twins & The Tigers both fighting for the division and wild card spot.

the twins are a good team but the pitching staff is a bit of a question mark like you said this will be a 3 team race again between the whitesox twins and tigers but the tigers in my opinion are the class of this division

4th place. The pitching rotation just doesn't have the talent to challenge for the division. Outside of Santana of the starters either of them could be labeled as the fifth starter.

Well, it depends in the lineup it has because they can't win if they have bad players,so to win they have contract the best players in the league and that will be a little bit difficult cause all the good palyers go to good teams like the yankees, the redsox, etc. Keep dreaming =)

Unless they can put togher another 21-1 game winning stretch at some point of the season expect no better than 4th.

I think the Twins will make the playoffs again due to Johan's usual dominant performance, Joe Nathan's closing ability, and their young talent.
Unfortunately, I see them getting bounced in the 1st round again...............but I hope not!
