How bad are the Twins?
Minnesota got their teeth kicked in today by the Royals, 10-3 in KC. The Royals have been surprisingly good and they'll only get better. They may have the most stocked farm system in the game and they are probably two or three years away from being a formidable contender.
The Twins have had issues with Joe Mauer, who has lost leg strength and is on the DL. Justin Morneau, coming off the concussion that cost him most of last year, hit just his first home run of the season today.
The pitching is horrible and Joe Nathan, coming off Tommy John surgery a year ago, is not pitching up to his standards and lost his closers role. But there haven't been many closing opportunities.
I'm not counting them out just yet but they are 10-games out and riding a 6-game losing streak. This team better get crackalackin real soon or it will be a long summer in Minnesota.
