I wouldn't say that... Our bullpen and rotation is decent, Liriano is supposedly "80%" of what he was in 2006 quoted by Gardenhire. Only move the Twins did that I don't like is how they are paying Pavano 7 million.
Rotation:
Baker
Slowey
Liriano
Blackburn
Pavano
Liriano is capable of posting a mid to low 3 ERA mark, Slowey, Blackburn, and Baker are all going to be pitching around the 4 ERA mark, and Pavano is probably going to pitch around the mid-high 4 ERA.
Bullpen:
Nathan
Guerrier
Mijares
Neshek?
Rauch
Crain
Condrey
Only pitcher I wouldn't trust in there is Crain, and Neshek is a complete question mark.
Plus if a starter or bullpen pitcher goes down, we have pretty decent depth in Swarzak, Duensing, Manship, and Perkins.
