I completely understand the consequences, my point was other teams called up up guys that are 21 and in a similar or same situation as the twins with 40 man spots and the upcoming lock out (when others said that doesn't happen) Doesn't matter if that was May, June, July, or August the outcome is the same no? Minus the rookie status and I personally wouldn't call either up right now and blow their rookie status. But I would call them up the day that doesn't affect that. As for the risk of the CBA (which I agree is real) doesn't that have to be weighed against the risk of not knowing what they have and are forced to sign the next round of Bell, Gallo, Bader, France, Santana and on an on? The Twins seem to go into every year with unknowns at many positions, which requires them to sign older not so great players to cover those spots because they don't seem to give them a chance until it is the last resort. Is there one fielder that locked down a spot for this team in the last few years (minus the injured Buxton) or has it been shuffling the deck chairs with the same basic people with similar results?

Yes this is just the list of guys 21 years old or younger that were called up this year. (Its not like people have just started the Jenkins, Culpepper request to have them up since the deadline, it seems to have been a recurring theme for a while now, No?) Teams have called up players like Jenkins and Culpepper and given them a chance for as long as I have been watching baseball, Some at the beginning of the year, some in the middle and some in end, but sure lets move the goal post to teams don't do it at this time of the year, and ignore that 11 players similar to Jenkins have debuted in the majors this year, and dozens of guys Culpepper's age have a well. Didn't Cleveland call up Angel Genao today, he is a 22 year old SS (younger than Culpepper),
