Man, you don't get into the spring training spirit at all.  :) 
Regardless, name a team since 1991 that was deeper.  And remember that depth includes call-up depth in the minors that is actually major league ready.  I see two big flaws in your reasoning.  Do you really feel there isn't a single decent hitter to follow behind Correa?  And what does contract status have to with depth?  Bringing up free agency in another season seems to indicate you're looking for reasons not to believe.

Regarding the last point, this may be the deepest Twins squad since the 91 World Series winner.  Somebody will say something about the squads over the 2000s until 2011, but those teams always had deep bullpens, but a couple of starts with no business in the major leagues and several AAAA fielders.  Everyone on this squad is a clear major league player.  The only players anyone could argue may not be ready are Larnach (due to experience) and Pagan (who actually had a better second half after being pulled out of the closer role).
Even better is that there are major league caliber players at AAA at every section of the roster. 
I know there is some heartburn over Ober, but we haven't had a ready starter at AAA to start a season in decades, let alone three.  But with Ober, which of the five starts would you dump for him on opening day?  People mention putting Maeda in the bullpen, but he was so dissatisfied with relief that he asked the Dodgers for a trade and was an outstanding starting for us.  He deserves the right to try to start again after the injury.  Not letting him try is disloyal and would have ramifications for morale and our desirability as a landing place for pitchers in later years.  Players remember and word gets around.
