With that modification, I'll buy what you say, but being a fan of a small market MLB team, the "better" part is definitely not true.
Carlos Gomez is one exciting player, but he is no Torii Hunter. Too many bone-head plays and not nearly the power at the plate.
There is no one one in the Twins rotation within even "hoping to be there someday" distance of Johan Santana.
The only true MLB-level defensive infielder the Twins have is Nick Punto, and he can't hit.
This situation is not because there is vast untapped talent in the Twins farm system.
