The Twins are doing things the way they always have...by playing
small ball, and giving talented, but raw, young guys a shot. At the same
time, their longer term talent projects (Mauer, Morneau, Baker, etc.) all
seem to be coming into their own.
It's not a recipe for a championship team, but it is exactly the right
recipe for them to earn their nickname of "The Piranhas". One little
bite at a time.

The Royals have better pitching than you give them credit for, IMO.
In fact, the only team in the division that has horrible pitching right now
is the Tigers. Imagine that.
