There is enough skepticism from the outside to make one wonder if the Twins' starting rotation is truly a strength or just looks better by comparison to previous years.

The rotation is the second-best thing about the Twins — better than the defense, better than the bullpen, not as good as the offense — but there are too many "ifs" to call it a true strength yet.
