I actually think both Mauer and Morneau are bit underrated in the roster set, esp Morneau. You might say the same for Cuddy and Kubel, as well. Liriano is way overrated; so is Slowey. Baker and Blackburn are underrated.
The Twins focus on "small ball" tends to allow for any statistical model to greatly underrate them. They tend to always outscore their pathegorean run total, and surpass every years Zips etc., projections.
When a team focuses so heavily on unquantifiable aspects of baseball, like hustle, scrappiness (ha!), character, and yes, defense, it makes it difficult for a video game to produce real life results.
I always have great success with the Twins particularly through getting a king's ransom for Nathan.
FWIW, I've never had any problems with the finacials running the Twins.
