(Those three-game sweeps almost don't seem real.) I headed over to TYBS as soon as I got home to see what happened.<BR/><BR/>It's unbelievable to me that a team the Tigers had to scratch and claw with for three months is suddenly out of the playoffs. That would've been a great ALCS. <BR/><BR/>Next season should be interesting, eh?Ian C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01249763037058741373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20751884.post-1160402525053639252006-10-09T09:02:00.000-05:002006-10-09T09:02:00.000-05:00I agree.

They need to acquire a veteran hitter via free agency...Specifically something similar to what Oakland did with Frank Thomas and what the White Sox did with Jermaine Dye. Or they need to be willing to part with one of their pitching prospect to trade for a quality power hitter.SAMOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05147036967049463093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20751884.post-1160342997852931042006-10-08T16:29:00.000-05:002006-10-08T16:29:00.000-05:00Pitching depth normally has not been a problem and...Pitching depth normally has not been a problem and was not a problem (at least in the playoffs), they just didn't hit. And more often than not, hitting has been their downfall. Now, things seem to be turning around with Mauer, Cuddyer, Morneau, etc. so hopefully those guys can continue to develop, they can do something in free agency, and the hitting can support the pitching for a change.twins15https://www.blogger.com/profile/03523976327895867248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20751884.post-1160329369383953542006-10-08T12:42:00.000-05:002006-10-08T12:42:00.000-05:00Is it me or is it the same story for the Twins eve...Is it me or is it the same story for the Twins every season?
