I have spent a lot of time reading blogs, posts, articles and comments about the Twins MLB and MiLB rosters, players, stats and More stats. Some comments really irk me.

Comments like these do not take in common sense of then what? It takes years to build a 25 man roster and MLB franchise. I have also seen many respons
Last Fall, when the season was over, I began a series of three blogs saying there was no more room in the Inn as players were getting jettisoned and prospects were pushing out the AAA filler in Rochester and at the MLB level. As this year enters the last couple of weeks for the minors and approaches the waiver deadline, it is amazing to consider the sheer volume of names no longer with the Twins or Red Wings.

As AA Twins become AAA Twins, Room for AAAA players is becoming more scarce.
