The only year I ever thought the Twins tried to put a legitimate team on the field was 2010. Every other season they were content to just be good. If we had made a trade or two to add a second ace or a 3b/ss/2b of high quality I think we could have won a World Series or two. Sadly in-season trades did get better with Bill Smith who added Cabrera, Rauch, Pavano, and Fuentes for nothing. If only this team had been willing to add payroll.
