It's way too early, but how about these Minnesota Twins playoff lineups?

Here's something I've been thinking about way too much lately considering A) The MLB postseason is still two months away; B) The Twins have a good chance of winning the division but it's far from a lock and C) They can't seem to stay healthy, particularly lately. But here it is anyway: If … the Twins are at full health and if … they do happen to win the American League Central … what would you say, here today on Aug. 5, is their best postseason playoff series batting lineup and starting rotation?

The lineup is a little easier to sort out, but there are still some questions. The rotation is far more intriguing. Let's start with the easier question. If everyone is healthy, here's my preferred starting lineup and batting order:

1. Max KeplerRF

2. Jorge PolancoSS

3. Nelson CruzDH

4. Eddie RosarioLF

5. Miguel Sano3B

7. Luis Arraez2B

8. C.J. Cron1B

9. Byron BuxtonCF

Bench: Marwin Gonzalez, Jason Castro, Ehire Adrianza, Jonathan Schoop.

We can probably quibble about the 5-8 spots in the order and how they should be best arranged. And you will also notice it leaves some pretty good players on the bench. In the course of a five- or seven-game series, Castro probably gets two starts. Gonzalez gets into the mix. Maybe Schoop, too. Adrianza is strictly a reserve, but a good one.

The starting rotation is a more interesting question — and one far more subject to change based on performance over the next two months and perhaps even tailored toward the Twins' opponent in the division series (again, in this scenario the Twins have won the AL Central).

Jose Berrios is the clear-cut No. 1 starter, and if they were able to line it up to have him start Game 1 the Twins certainly would.

After that (again, assuming everyone is healthy) … do you like Jake Odorizzi, who had a huge first half, then stumbled, but still leads all Twins starters in strikeouts per nine innings?

Or do you prefer Kyle Gibson, who has more quietly put together a very nice season (11-4, 4.02 ERA, 9.1 Ks/9 innings).

Maybe you like Michael Pineda, who is sidelined now but has been gaining steam (2.85 ERA in his past eight starts, and 3.36 in his last 14).

Here's how I would line up the four starting pitchers typically needed in a playoff series right now if everyone was healthy:

1. Jose Berrios

2. Jake Odorizzi

3. Michael Pineda

4. Kyle Gibson

I'd be more tempted to try Smeltzer if either the Yankees or Astros — almost assuredly the Twins' ALDS opponent if they win the Central — had a weakness against lefties. Alas, Houston pounds lefties and the Yankees are only slightly worse (.803 OPS vs. lefties compared to .825 vs. righties).

Smeltzer and Perez, though, would be great candidates to enter a game early if a starter not named Berrios was struggling and the Twins were trying to keep things close.

Of course, the wild card of all wild cards would be Brusdar Graterol. But it sounds as if the flame-throwing righty phenom would be used out of the bullpen, if at all, in September or beyond. Graterol would need to be added to the 40-man roster by the end of August to be eligible for the postseason, but the Twins have only 39 players on the 40-man roster.
