I personally believe they have the potential to win a world series. they have 2 mvp's, 5 guys who can hit 20+ home runs (mauer, morneau, kubel, cuddyer, and now hardy), a solid bullpen with nathan at the back end, and a good young rotation (with baker, blackburn, slowey, and pavano now returning). plus along with all that delmon young is now starting to hit for more power, add that to more playing time with gomez gone and he has potential to hit 15 homers. Then they have good speed (even with gomez gone) and great defense. to top it all off they have the motivation to win a world series to keep mauer in his home state.
