Peaked in the postseason. Who saw it turning out like this.

As a fan of the twins I did. There is never a time I feel comfortable with a player in a twins uniform. Sano - bust and injured. Kiriloff - injured and a bust. Miranda - bust. Julien - bust. Wallner - looks like a bust this year. Buxton - injured (never has played over a 100 games in a season. Lewis - bust.  Lee - went from being a top prospect to almost being a platoon guy oh and a bust. All of these guys were good prospects that showed like they were going to be great and the longer they stayed around the club the worse they got or the more the injuries piled up. It’s like a curse with this team. Even players that play bad all of a sudden go somewhere else and start doing better. Correa for example is batting over 400 with the astros since joining. Gomez had mvp seasons after leaving. Ortiz became hall of famer. There are even weird injuries like kiriloffs or concussions lasting whole years or bilateral leg weakness or back to back years tearing an ACL. Don’t even get me started on the pitching they tried to develop.

Both Morneau and Cuddyer won NL batting titles after Twins cheaped  out on them for the next bust coming along.

This could be the straw that breaks the camel’s back, Peter.

That camel has had so many surgeries already this year he's become a chain smoker

There must be black mold in the clubhouse . . Or the summer sausage is still there in the back of Royce's cubicle
