It's BG's turn to do the Blogger's Minute on the Twins Magazine this week, and she's got some ideas to help the club. Readers, what do you think?

Last week, Washington Nationals General Manager Jim Bowden called Barry Larkin to see if the 41 year old former Reds shortstop might come out of retirement to help the team. This is an ingenious approach to solving a roster's problems, and as the trade deadline approaches, we should ask ourselves, should we be looking, not to other teams, but to the Twins own past?

We've been looking for a good righthanded bat, and the Twins have had one of the best floating around their organization the last few years. Paul Molitor may not have been able to fit into the coaching staff, but why not into the lineup? It's perfect—3rd base has been a huge question mark for us, and Molly's got about two thousand nine hundred more career hits than the rest of our third basemen combined.

And everyone's waiting for Justin Morneau to be the next Kent Hrbek, but I don't see why we need a new Kent Hrbek when we have a perfectly good one already living in Bloomington. He might not have the range at 1B that he used to, but I think it might even out since he takes up so much more space.

Meanwhile, the Twins seem to be lacking a little bit of spark these days, but they've got one of the most fiery players in Twins history up in the radio booth right now. Last year, Torii Hunter bowling over Jamie Burke reinvigorated our whole season—well, let Dan Gladden at a few of these catchers and we'll be reinvigorated right up through 2015.

Or, hey, just imagine what an outfield of Kirby Puckett, Harmon Killebrew, and Tony Oliva could do. And I'm sure Hrbie would be more than happy to platoon at first with Rod Carew, if Rod feels he's too old to play 2nd. I know our pitchers are doing pretty well, but should they falter we've got Viola, Blyleven, Morris, and Kaat all at our disposal, and still the average age of the staff wouldn't be any higher than that of the Yankees.

We’ve got the talent in our organization to save this season. We just have to know where to look.
