Does anyone know which groups "Each" will be working with in minor league camp? Eample: (1) Now that Buxton and Kepler are sent down to minor league camp, does that affect who bumps down from group 1 to group 2 (as Seth outlined in article) ?

Who was the last (position player) prospect to benefit from a repeat stay in high A? [I'm talking after a full season in high A and start of next season] I'm talking about prospects who became MLB Twins regulars? I hear those who say let him repeat A+, but where in Twins history has this been beneficial to the point of "This is what should be done"? If no one is blocking a player, let them move up and repeat at the higher levels. Besides, it is not like he had a horrible season. These are not terrible numbers for FSL [ .250 BA / 25 homers / 95 rbi / 750+ OPS]. The new "Twins Way" = Push Push Push

Read in different thread. Interesting outlook on new approach for Walker Thoughts? Would it help significantly enough?

Kepler at 1st and rotates as 4th outfielder Hicks at DH and rotates at 1B Harrison becomes All Star for Miracle and then gets promoted as Sano and Rosario leave. He plays 3rd base and LF for Miracle Goodrum plays exclusively at SS for Miracle until Polanco and Sano move up Kepler takes over CF as Buxton moves on

This is who I see making the 40 Man after 2015 season and who I see getting released or traded. I allowed for signing 2+ free agents in off season. Besides the 2012 draftees, we have to account for quick movers like Burdi and Reed. BOLD = Released or Traded CURRENT 40 MAN ROSTER P PITCHERS DOB P A.J.
