    Julien should be top 100

    I think there will be a lot of platoon type of lineup moves to insert players like Farmer/Lewis (eventually)/Gordon into the lineup so I don't think Kirilloff, Kepler, or Gallo will play 'full-time' unless they start playing like their peak years or in Kirilloff's case his potential. That being said, I'm guessing it looks something like this: Polanco (2B) Correa (SS) Buxton (CF) Kirilloff (1B) Gallo (RF) Miranda (3B) Larnach (DH) Vazquez (C) Kepler (LF) The bottom of the order I just tried to do L/R/L/R splits as I know the Twins seem to like that. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Twins put Polanco in the #4 spot and go non-traditional in the #1 spot and use Gallo or Miranda or Kirilloff especially if Gallo or Kirilloff hits like their potential.

    Thielbar, Jax, Fulmer, Duran, Lopez is a great little bullpen group. I would love to try to keep Fulmer next year and add Alcala to that mix next year. Somehow even with all of that new bullpen depth we end up with 2 Pagan/Megill games per week. Ultimately, what I will say is I'm not against the maximize SP by not taking them a 3rd time through the order but if you're going to do that you have to proportionally overspend on your bullpen. Traditionally, that group above would be enough... now it's not because we need the bullpen to pick up comparatively more innings.

    I would argue “if healthy” is the mantra with every prospect (and every arm). Tommy John isn’t really too different than an ACL these days. Either way, calculated risk.

    Law’s scouting report says that Prielepp could have been in consideration for the #1 overall pick if healthy and repeating what he flashed during his rookie year.

    What happened to Austin Martin's power? I certainly did original expect more; certainly if not HR power yet gap power. Was it a hand injury or a swing change or both? I still think that Martin could have a Polanco like evolution as a hitter going from contact to gap power to some HR power as well. Either way, his ability to get on base, contact skills, and speed is a dynamic that we probably really need on the major league roster.
