While the Twins may have improved in some aspects, I think they have more question marks than the White Sox. Can Carl Pavano provide the same results as he did last year? The Twins went 18-12 in his starts, 10 of which they provided six or more runs of support. Did Delmon Young overachieve last year or is he here to stay? Will Morneau be healthy? If not, can Cuddyer and Kubel step up to the extent they did last year? To the bullpen, Nathan looks healthy, but should he go down again, who can bridge to Matt Capps without Jon Rauch around? I will say this - Ron Gardenhire is the best manager in the American League. To have that is priceless. He's always been able to get the best out of his players, so I won't be surprised when I learn some new names this year.
