    Thanks Nick, this is really thought provoking. So here’s my question: If 1/3 of this list aren’t on the big league roster yet, how should I think about when our next legit championship window should open? Is it 2 years away? More than that?

    I was listening to The Smiths earlier tonight. I think “How Soon Is Now?” would be a great marketing slogan for this year’s Twins.

    552 innings is about 60 games, so 15 games a year thus far. Even if used only as a defensive replacement, he would still end up batting in close games. No, thank you.

    I have a hard time believing we signed Santana, France, and now Bell because Alex Kiriloff couldn’t stay healthy and then abruptly retired, and yet here we are. Where have all the first basemen gone? It used to be a position that guys actually played, not just someplace to stick your worst defender. If anyone needs me I’ll be hitching my pants up to my armpits, sitting down on the porch and telling the neighbor kids to stay out of my yard.

    I’d rather see ERod or Jenkins take big league swings and struggle a bit than watch whatever the ‘26 version of Outman does.

    Clickbait? Maybe. Still drew 60 comments from people just like me who are dying for any type of news, ideas, or rumors since there are no transactions to speak of.

    After trading a quarter of the 40 man at the deadline, I’m not shocked by the state of the current roster. It will look very different by the time pitchers and catchers report, assuming some sort of payroll floor is set. Until then, I trust the TD community to post up multiple pages of comments on posts like this. So, honestly, thanks for giving me something to do over the winter.

    Of all those, I think Lee has a chance to at least be useful to the roster. If (when?) Culpepper supplants him at SS, he should be the primary utility infielder. The rest of these guys prove that getting to the majors is tough. Staying there is reserved for pretty rare levels of talent and performance.

    Nelson Cruz, hands down. Get everyone on his napping schedule. It would be like old school kindergarten in the clubhouse: unroll your nap rug, down a carton of milk, and nap away your troubles. Homers will ensue, I’m sure of it!

    I remember the Gene Mauch years well when I was a kid. He presided over a decline in talent from 1976 to 1980, including Carew, Bostock and Hisle all leaving for greener pastures. i see the 1976 Twins, who won 85 games, drew about 750k fans for the year. Maybe Met Stadium didn’t have much capacity? Tough to remember as an 8 year old.

    I’m fine with this as long as we add a “Cole Sands bar” to the bullpen.
  12. Brett
    I think our ‘26 outfield should be Buxton, Jenkins, Rodriguez, Gonzales, and Martin. Wallner as DH or a corner when injuries dictate. Let the kids occasionally play CF when Buck needs a day. The accurately named Outman needs more time in St. Paul, so he should be 2 injuries away from the major league roster.
  13. Brett
    When I take the kids to a game, we buy the cheapest tickets and never sit down. They like circling the stadium, finding their favorite concessions, and seeing Sue the organist. How about discounting the standing room tickets for kids? seriously, they just need to try something.
  14. Brett
    Too bad the advanced stats don’t go back 50 years. How would someone like Willie Norwood compare? Bombo Rivera? Oh wait…Mickey Hatcher. That’s a comparison to see.
  15. Brett
    Dammit man, at least one more hit of McCrusher!
  16. Brett
    OK, I’ll play. How about Pablo Lopez and Derek Falvey to the Dodgers for Andrew Friedman?
  17. Brett
    Let’s just swap the Saints and Twins rosters. Novelty? Yes. Watchable? Maybe for a bit.
  18. Brett
    Speaking of rotten ownership, I remember when Carl Pohlad saved us from Calvin Griffith in 1984. After 2 World Series titles, I hoped that feeling would last forever. Well, it hasn’t. But don’t tell me about having no hope for the future if you don’t remember the 70s and early 80s Twins. People are saying they don’t care about this team, and yet dozens of comments appear after stories like this. Would you rather truly have no hope, or would you prefer a team that has obvious talent but can’t seem to get their poop in a group? Frustrated? Sure. Absolutely hopeless? Not me.
  19. Brett
    Honestly, the way this year has gone, I see them winning too many games and sliding back to 10th worst. in unrelated news, the Pohlads will announce the hiring of the esteemed PR firm Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe to help them better relate to their fan base.

    An emotional go bag is the thing I never knew I needed. Thanks Cody!
  21. Brett
    Thanks for writing a more family-friendly version of what many of us feel.
  22. Brett
    In the aggregate, too much was taken from the active roster. What is Buxton thinking right now? What about all the starters? The first time Sands comes into a game to hold a 2-1 lead, I think I’ll just turn the TV off and go to bed.
  23. Brett
    I was hoping for more major league-ready bats, but here we are. We’ll see how well the youngsters play, and I will prepare myself for an underwhelming ‘26 and ‘27. Maybe ‘28. Not sure how I feel about the lane that was picked.
  24. Brett
    I’m struggling to name anyone left in the Twins bullpen. Is Funderburk the closer now?
  25. Brett
    I saw Happy Gilmore 2 last night, which has added a number of colorful expressions to my already expansive list when I play golf. Don’t make me use them on my beloved Twins. No means no.
