Actually, the Twins have the lowest team ERA in the AL.

Johan Santana is a lock for the Cy Young.

Brad Radke has been around top 10 lowest ERA's all season, but no run support.

Rincon-Romero-Balfour-Nathan = Best bullpen in the AL

Nathan has established himself as one of the leagues elite closers this season.

Our #3 and #4 starters aren't as good, but if you are expecting ace showing from Derek Lowe and Bronson Arroyo you are a real optimist. They will pitch good, but they won't shut down anybody. The Yankee's had two pitchers pitching well, one punched a wall, and now they have one. The Twins beat Mussina last year when he was pitching great. Vazquez has been having control problems. I'm the first to admit that we have the weakest #3 and #4 playoff pitchers, but its not like thats a strong point in any AL team besides the A's this year.
