 Looking to be excited 
1) The offense
2) Improvement of Carlos Gomez
3) Who becomes a setup guy? Neshek or Jose Mijaries. You figure Neshek will be for now, but at some point, does Gardy tempt to use a sure thing in Jose Mijaries
4) A full year of Liriano
5) You know the Twins will find a way to develop a player that no one expects to produce (i.e. Denard Span) 
Looking to be worried: 
1) The Indians and the White Sox are going to be good. They ain't going away. If the Indians did not have injuries during the season, they may have won the division.
2) The disappointment of Game 163 could fluster over to next season. It's not going to be easy to recover.
3) The bullpen
4) Are Nick Blackburn and Glen Perkins going to take the next step? Their finish has to make you wonder if they are capable of being starters
5) Injuries. It's part of life.
NN: Five best things: Francisco Liriano, Scott Baker, Kevin Slowey, Nick Blackburn, Glen Perkins. This is a solid rotation.
Things to worry about would include regression from any of the young guys who had breakout years, a lack of improvement in the bullpen and the obligatory crappy veteran free agent signings.
