It's over, folks. Time to throw in the towel. Again.

As we push past the trade deadline into the final 50-ish games of the season, conventional baseball wisdom would suggest that the younger players should be getting the majority of the plate appearances and innings. I say we throw caution to the wind.

Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that we find new homes for the likes of Willingham, Suzuki, Correia, and even Duensing, and let's also assume, as expected, that Twins Daily is given complete control over the roster for the remainder of the season. What's the worst that could happen if we refuse to give another PA or IP to anyone under the age of 30?

A 30-or-younger active roster might come out looking like the one below. Try to look past the fact that I have 31-year-olds Mauer, Perkins and Nolasco in there. The guys have contracts. We might as well be realistic here.

Frankly, I've yet to find anyone who can convince me that this isn't a good idea, or at very least a replacement-level one. I'll admit that you probably keep Buxton in AA, but you gotta put fans in the seats somehow, right?

Fire away. Santana or Hicks in CF instead of Buxton? Eddie Rosario in the mix? Go all-in and throw in Jose Berrios? Go for it. It's your organization. TR and Gardy are just working in it.
