What I think: You might not build a staff in one offseason, but you don't build one by sitting the offseason out, either. Get started already, for Petesakes...or we'll be having this conversation every year. The Twins WERE positioned to be in contention a couple weeks ago, "sequencing" or not. Adding some quality pitching last offseason would have possibly helped to lower that magic "baseruns" number, added a few wins, and helped avoid this disastrous road trip, where the bullpen is the reason they're not having a winning trip. Side notes: using terms such as "fanciful, laughable" to describe other posters is out of bounds on this place. Please don't. When TD owners pass away and leave me this place in their will (I'm going to outlive them all), I'm going to ban the word "sequencing."
