That's because they really aren't a big 3. Optimists and people think they are. This team needs 12 guys like Bader and France and rid themselves of guys that have proved time and time again they don't have what it takes. Need new blood and new atmosphere. Starts with getting rid of Rocco.
16? You must be kidding. It's going to be a struggle for any Twins starter to get to 16, and he's 4th, 5th, or worse in the pitching heirarchy on this team. He would be very lucky to get to 10 wins. Maybe 6-7 if the offense can support him.
File this comment away and revisit in September. 4th place is definitely not far fetched. And if not for the white Sox, last would be possible. All comes down to who stays healthy.
