Who has the best middle of the order lineup? This may be homerism, but I think the Twins have got to be up there. Batting third is the reigning American League batting champion. Our cleanup hitter is batting well over .300, The 5th batter is only the reigning league MVP. Our sixth batter had a career yr with 30 hrs in what was already a pretty good career.
I know about 90% will take the Yankees, but I don't care.

Man, I'm taking the Red Sox. Ortiz-Manny-Drew? The only other team in the running are the Yankees.
That's two .300/.400/.600 hitters and one .300/.400/.500 hitter.

Ortiz/Manny/Drew
however it's really hard to argue with Beltran/Delgado/Wright
and just for those who want to live in the past(even though last time I checked they don't bat in order anymore)
Pujols, Edmonds, Rolen used to be able to beat almost all of them.

"The guy is an idiot," Pedroia said regarding Cabrera. "I dropped my bat. It kind of freaked me out. I was upset they took him out of the game. He is good to hit. He's 9-15. The guy [stinks]."

Middle of the order = 4/5/6, no? Then Ortiz is out.

Yeah, bastard. My math is bad.
Then I guess the Yankees. What, A-Rod/Giambi/Matsui?

Have you seen a lot of six-hole hitters? The Twins 4-6 is pretty good compared to almost everybody,

Sorry, I meant heart of the order, I didn't realize people would be so technical.
