    I think that moving Nolasco for anyone this off-season is highly unlikely for a number of reasons. First, an arguement we've heard before. Why would anyone willingly want to move a player only one season into a multi-year contract (as we sometimes heard when the Hammer was still here)? Makes it even less likely anyone else would consider signing here. Second, he had one poor season, one that could well be attributed to injury. What's the harm in seeing if the poor season was due to injury or to him being overmatched in the American League? If we see another poor season, one that's not attributed to injury, then all bets are off. Third, I'm not totally convinced that he's not at least one of the Twins' top 5 starters (at the moment), like it or not. I know there are others with much higher potential in the pipeline, but outside of maybe Alex Meyer, I don't see any of them being a significant factor this coming season. I'm sure there are other reasons as well.

    Hard to have much argument with these 10, all things considered. Nice to see some kids seemingly coming out of the team's seemingly strong presence in the Dominican Republic, especially ones I don't recall hearing of before (like Diaz at #50 and Silva at #43). Encouraging news for the future! Hopefully, some of them will pan out.

    A fascinating look at a day in the Twins Instructional League. I've always kind of wondered how that all worked. Thanks!

    Agreed. However, the problem is that the status of "role model" is usually thrust upon players in any sport by their peers, fans, media, etc. I would surmise that few, if any, ever had that specific aspiration leading up to or during their career.

    With Hicks now called up, it's time to show that TR and the organization actually believes that. Santana should be in the lineup for virtually every remaining game as shortstop. Let's see what he can do defensively, rather than just speculate.

    Something we may never see again in our lifetimes.

    My answer is little, if anything, noteworthy. I would also add that I'd do so, regardless of where or how each call-up is perceived to fit within the organization in the short-term future. In the case of Alex Meyer, that would mean long-term future. The young man deserves his opportunity. However, that's a discussion for another thread.
