The Twins are playing the hottest team in baseball. The Braves, Yankees, Rays and Astros are all right there with the Twins as heavy hitters in the power rankings that are off to slow starts or are experiencing a losing streak. It's just the nature of the game. However, if there is something systemic that ends up keeping this team from reaching potential, there is a silver lining. Perhaps, Baldelli will be fired. If the dark lord came to me and said my team could not make the playoffs this year but after this season (or perhaps part way through) there would be no more Baldelli .... Soul sold.
