Are the Minnesota Twins the best team in baseball right now?

They are certainly one of the best. I'd put them top 2 with the Rays.

The starting pitching has been shaky as of late.

It's a bit too early to pick best teams because we haven't seem them go head to head with the team that are the best in baseball yet.

Let's take the top three records in the league and do a basic stat by stat anaylsis:

Overall Record:

Rays: 14-5

Twins: 13-6

Yankees: 12-6

Batting Average:

Yankees: .273

Twins: .267

Rays: .258

Home runs:

Yankees: 20

Rays: 20

Twins: 19

RBI's:

Rays: 106

Twins: 92

Yankees: 86

SB's:

Rays: 21

Yankees: 19

Twins: 11

ERA:

Rays: 3.38

Yankees: 3.43

Twins: 3.55

Of course there are many other areas that can judge a team's overall performance, but based on these stats and having the best record in the league, the Rays are currently the best team in the league, and I put a big emphasis on the word currently. We haven't even finished the month of April yet, so things could change during the next few months.

While the Twins are intruiging.. I dont feel they are the best right now. Are they the deepest in pitching NO. Are they the best hitting team NO.. are they the best fielding team YES.. I do believe the Twins will have a good year and make the playoffs however the yankees rays n tigers all have good things about them as well. Until they win the series no one can declare their team as the best. as of right now they are one of the top 4 teams in baseball but the season is still early and lots can go on.

Minnesota is smart for this question. yet so do a variety of of different communities. The team i seen first are the White Sox. They have been predicted to as quickly as back project for the AL mandatory and be a playoff high quality team. they're at present in final place of their branch. different arguments must be made for the Blue Jays and Orioles, 2 communities that spent an excellent variety of money interior the offseason on megastar gamers. Neither team had success with this formula, and Baltimore's record at present stands at a pathetic sixty 4-87.

I like the Twins, but I'm not sure if they're the best team out there right now, Yankees and Rays are just as good

I love the Twins! They are doing as well or better than I expected. It's hard to say if they are the best-that will have to wait for October. But I expect them to win their division by at least six games and go deep into the playoffs. Hopefully it's World Series here we come!

I'd Have to say The Yankees and the D-Rays. Padres are doing great now... But I Love the Padres but don't think that will last too long

No, the Yankees or Rays, pick one. I'd say the Yankees only because they are 2-1 against Rays so far.

I don't think they're the best, but they're certainly in the top 3. Yankees are probably the best right now.

Only 2 errors, a lot of walks taken and some great pitching, I'd say yes.
