If the Twins didn't have Josh Willingham ...

Josh Willingham hasn't been enough to jump-start a stagnant Twins offense. And, to be sure, not all of his extra base hits have been game-changers. But he still qualifies as one of the lone bright spots in a sea of blight -- particularly at Target Field, where the Twins have just four victories but Willingham is hitting .476 with five homers and a 1.584 OPS.

With that considered, can you imagine the Twins at the plate without Willingham? We posed that question on Twitter last night, and here are a few responses. Yours are also welcome in the comments:

From @ChrisYouny: They'd have most embarrassing All-Star representative ever.

From @bkruThey'd already have clinched the first overall pick in next year's draft.

From @DanaWesselWe'd have Cuddyer and wouldn't have had that two month stretch of annoying Cuddyer-related Twitter whining.
