Keith Law ESPN Insider
The Twins are built to win their division over the long haul of 162 games, but for a short season their roster isn't really ideal, without a shutdown starter behind Liriano, one of the weakest 'pens of any contender and a manager with an inexplicable affinity for small-ball tactics. The other three AL playoff teams all lead off their rotations with left-handers who are likely to give Mauer and Thome trouble. The Twins' chances for playoff success are higher with Liriano than they were last year without him, but it's hard to see them getting past one or both of the AL East teams in the postseason.

I've always felt the same way. He loves Liriano though. He had thought he was the 3rd most deserving of the Cy Young award.

I say there rotation is deeper than he thinks. Pavano and Duensing have both had fantastic years and there bullpen is very good.
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will.
