              Better bench depth.
              A closer
              not having a starting rotation full of solid #2-4s. Have an ace or two
              Dome Dogs
              Less JJ Hardy

                Start hitting with runners in scoring position. This team is what it is pitching wise. They may be able to make a move. But, we knew coming in they were more of a scoring team based on the lineup than a "piranha" type team yet they keep trying to win on pitching and defense when they should be winning by knocking the cover off.

                      Here's what I had on my Facebook page a couple days ago,

                      Twins needs:
                      Hardy to come back
                      3rd Baseman
                      3 relievers not named Crain, Mijares, or Mahay
                      Kubel to figure things out
                      A true #1 starter

                      I now also think, closer and undecided on manager...

                        how about more home runs by Kubel?

                          Ok, now we're getting somewhere.

                          How do you propose accomplishing this with the budget constraints that are placed on the twins? Be sure to consider the increase in Mauer's contract next year. Plan for morneau to get a major increase down the line too.

                          Who do you get rid of to reduce to the budget? How do you replace those players?

                            I wonder what the twins record is when kubel homers this year. I can't help but think it's pretty good (considering the last two games where we beat the yankees kubel has been a huge factor).

                              Budget? We're the 11th highest team in payroll this year at $97.5 million. Just outside of the top 10. The Twins can't play that card anymore...

                                Ok, that's still less than half that of the yankees.

                                Besides, you missed the point. We still have a budget. We have a payroll. How do you reconcile what you want to do with our budget? I'm not saying we should expect less since we're a "small cap" team. I'm saying how do you improve the team without jacking up the payroll.
