Before the White Sox's emergence last season and the Tigers' resurgence this year, the Twins had dominated a weak AL Central for three years and burned out during playoffs, twice in the first round. This team, when Francisco Liriano is healthy, is better than all of them - three big bats in the lineup, two aces in the rotation, one of the best closers in baseball, a manager who matches wits with the best, a worthwhile bench and bullpen and, oh, yeah, some hungry animals in the lineup. (emphasis mine)
Have at it, me hearties... Yarrr... I mean, let's have a calm and reasoned discussion.
