Larnach, has shown so far, he is closer to AA than AAA, Kirilloff is an unknow and could just as easly regress to Rooker and Larnack level.
The Pohlads do not want to field what is equivalent to a AAA team which is what bringing all these rookies who are mostly struggling at minor league level would make the Twins.
So many here speak of all the rookies as if they were a magic potion to make the Twins as good as they were two years ago.
Bring in veterans, yes, unknowns and crossing your fingers will probably make this year look good; the Twins are not some other teams with rookies who perform above what is expected -- of course there is Kepler from two years ago and gee-whiz maybe Larnach or some other rookie will be one year wonder.?
