    Hindsight is always 20/20. Add me to those above who believe you can't cherry-pick which trades they shouldn't have done. Also, trades for prospects cannot be judged one year after the trade.

    Add me to the list of those who are excited about this group. Curious about a couple others. Was Zebby considered and didn't make the cut? Or has he been around long enough that he wasn't considered? Then there is Alan Roden. What he has done in his inconsistent playing time with the Twins together with his AAA production, I am of the opinion he belongs in major league baseball. Not saying he beats out anyone in this top 10. Just saying he is a big leaguer, whether or not that is with the Twins. Roden and at least one other of the many left-handed hitting outfielders are certainly prospects to be moved, if they don't make the Twins roster next year. And if moved they should bring back something of value to the Twins.

    In answer to your question, Nick, I would say, yes, no or maybe? I wasn't in the Twin Cities during the early to mid-80's when the team was ramping up to the '87 World Series. But this past month or so I have the feeling that this young group might be doing what they did. Although Lewis hasn't developed into the player everyone expected Lee and Keaschall made huge progress during the year and look to be solid members of future Twins teams. Add the trio of young prospects who finally arrived and the Twins should have 5/8 of their position player group set well into the 2030's. Add several young pitchers, including those who arrived at the 2025 deadline, a young shortstop and several catchers and their future is bright, very bright. Now they need to make a few smart moves this offseason, assuming there is an offseason to do so.

    Love this kid's hustle and hope he remains a Twin for a long, long career. Wasn't one of Moliter's nicknames when in Milwaukee the "ignitor?" Could see Luke being called that.

    And best of all SE23, he is a Badger (state, not school).

    Suddenly taking pitchers into deep counts is bad? The guys we listen to on tv, the guys who played the game a long time seem to like them as they wear the pitcher down. Yes, they can lead to strikeouts. They can also lead to hits or walk. Two out of three ain't bad, especially in baseball.

    So glad to see Jenkins begin hitting like everyone thought he could. Sure, as heck will give him a better winter than had he finished hitting 1 for 10. Hopefully, he will keep getting some hits these last few games. Will continue believing that Prielipp will become an ACE level pitcher, perhaps as soon as 2028.

    Interesting group, Cody. Thanks for including what they signed for. I know this was hitters only. Not expecting a lot when you get to pitchers as it seemed their score nearly every day had the opposing team in double digits.

    When I read the headline I thought, "oh no, here we go again." After reading it, Greg, I found your article both rational and fair. Thanks. The one line out of the entire piece that caught my eye was a sentence in the first paragraph when you are talking about his playing every day in the outfield. It's when you mention he has play 717 innings in the outfield as a professional. That's less than 80 games. I recently checked his minor league stats and saw he played 20 games in the outfield before arriving with the Twins. The fact is the guys all these stats compare him to had played more in the outfield as him by the time they were freshmen in high school. As several have mentioned above, the guy is athletic and seems to be a hard worker. Get him the coaching he needs and put him in either left or right and leave him there. As for 4 guys for three spots, injuries will take care of that problem.

    With all the uncertainty facing baseball this winter, does anyone think any/most MLB teams will be doing much of anything regarding coaching, GM's, etc? Saw you mentioned SWR, Cody. Last I saw of him he was pitching against the Saints, was it in Toledo? Or someplace else?

    Certainly, agree with Permanent regarding the draft. Could the Twins again be lucky in the lottery with a top 3 pick? Or higher? Agree that Sunday was a perfect ending to the season for Houston and Winokur. Will we see either of them at Target Field late next year? Both? Also saw some excitement in St. Paul with the Rojas outing. I keep hearing the Twins have 9 starters come spring training. I don't understand, I count 11, if you include Festa and Paredes. That's assuming they are all with the team whenever spring training begins. Seems to make a lot of sense, at least to me, that one of those veterans should be moved over the winter as part of a deal to bring back a top high leverage reliever.

    Keaschall, Jenkins, Buxton and Rodriguez. Left field, center field, right field, DH. That's four players and four positions. Sounds like an easy decision to me. Three play in the outfield and one at DH. When all are healthy, rotate so each player is at DH once or twice a week, about three times every two weeks. When one is beat up but not on the IL, he gets more time at DH and less time in the field. When one is on the IL, problem solved. Works for me, at least until two go on the IL at the same time.

    We all were wondering if EmRod would get the call. If not, how would they know what they have next spring when he would be out of options? After one game, we all have our answer and I suspect the Twins do as well. The first time I have been able to watch him play an entire game, WOW. What impressed me the most was his smooth play in the outfield. On that assist, he sure as heck didn't look like a rookie playing his first game. Looked like someone who belongs. Welcome to the show, Emmanuel!!! What will be interesting these next 14 or whatever games. EmRod and Jenkins both need to play most games. When both are in the lineup, who will be in left and who in center? [listening to the pre-game, Shelton just said there will be games when both are in the lineup and will probably flip positions in some games.]

    Not a clue who will be their five starters on opening day, come next March, April, May or whenever it is. Spring training's purpose is for players to get ready for the season and the team the opportunity to see who should be in the opening day rotation. The only thing I know for certain is that it is nice that they have 9 potential starting arms, as more is better than less. Will they all be with the Twins on opening day? Nobody knows.

    Did you check the records of the Mussels and FCL Twins? Will agree however, that it was a sad year for most of the affiliates, especially Cedar Rapids who nearly every year was in the playoffs.
