33ish

The Twins have experienced a tremendous amount of loss this year for sure.  They had to trade Santana and they lost Torri Hunter and Carlos Silva to free agency, and those are just the off-season moves.  After the success this team enjoyed-although they should have twice gotten to a World Series and failed both times (in 2002 I felt they were better than the Angels and in 2006 they were better than Oakland-losing both times)-they are clearly stretching for something this coming season.  Going into the 2008 with a starting rotation that can barely drink would have any team scared.  The Twins tried to answer some of those questions today, although did they go a bit too far?  Signing the "33" year old Livian Hernandez certainly helps, but is it enough to allow them to compete in the brutal AL Central?
