The only other season, IMO, that felt like this was 2006 - where the Twins have a legit chance to make a run at a World Series. That team and front office did very little to improve themselves and make that "put them over the top" move, and it obviously failed them. Swept by the Oakland A's in the ALDS. You cannot assume these things are going to be long term - when you have an opportunity like this, you need to make a move(s). Go for it. I am not saying you need to mortgage the future, or sell all assets for a chance at one run, but there are ways to do it. I am sick of reading articles about how the Yankees and Astros and Dodgers are interested in certain guys - and the Twins are always middling, standing in the back, picking up Matt Capps or Jon Rauch. If the Twins have as deep and good of farm system as people claim, there are ways to get deals done...for now, and the future.
