Phil Hughes was awesome last year, Kyle Gibson improved a lot IMO but still had a few clunkers. If Nolasco can pitch up to that contract and Ervin Santana has the kind of impact the Twins are hoping for... I think a pitching staff of:
P. Hughes
E. Santana
K. Gibson
R. Nolasco
one of Meyer/May/Milone/Pelfrey
I think this group can definitely provide "average" pitching and with enough kool-aid - solid starting pitching.
As was mentioned already the offense was not the issue last year, the Twins could score runs and all the young guys in the line-up have one more year experience now.
The issue I have seen in multiple previews is that this is shaping up to be a terrible defensive baseball team.. especially if the pitching is a huge let down once again.
Look forward to this season though, look for the pitching to bounce back, the current and future young guys stepping up, Mauer getting back to at least hitting .300, Dozier dingers, Vargas & Arcia bombs.
Never know.
