Half empty? Half full?

When a team has the best catcher in baseball, the best closer in baseball and the two best lefthanded starters in baseball, doesn't it seem like they should be better than 27-33, no matter how bad the rest of the team is?
With Justin Morneau, Michael Cuddyer and Jason Kubel showing signs of life as well, and with Brad Radke starting to figure it out, it feels like the Twins should be playing a little better than they are.
Not contending mind you - no team with Juan Castro, Lew Ford, Tony Batista or Rondell White playing regularly will contend - but at least over .500.
Who knows, maybe they'll still get there.
But regardless of what the Twins record is by the end of the year, there appears to be too much talent on the roster even for Gardy to totally screw up the future.
*Interesting side note: In the Twins last 162 games, their record is 73-89.
