Top Gun, I can understand where you're coming from. Morneau,though, is likely gone, either via trade in the next year, or Free Agency. The Twins will probably continue to use Mauer's contract as a crutch in spending any money on pitching, and TRyan has already said they won't spend in Free Agency. Have no idea why. Probably because they're constantly throwing big money away on poor decisions. I would have probably felt this way a couple years ago. No longer. The Twins need help in numerous areas. With Mauer/Morneau, they're not contenders next year unless they hit the bullseye on every deal / transaction. It's too bad they've buried themselves like this(the Twins). Great players/longtime Twins that have no chance at a ring here.
