    Palka was a college hitter coming into the draft while Kirilloff came out of high school. You have to think of the age at the level that they are competing in. Alex Kirilloff will be much younger then Palka was when starting out in A ball (19 compared to 23). Thats a big difference. Palka has always been older then his competition while conversely Kirilloff has been younger.

    Like your article said Depth is always a good thing. Having Plouffe AND Sano is a great problem to have. The season is 162 games long, who knows what will happen to one of them. They are both cheap and Plouffe is in his prime. I would not trade him at all. Do your best to keep them both in the lineup and make sure Sano can still get some reps at third base to continue his development. I also agree with adding another top SP and putting all the extra SP arms in the pen. It strengthens two areas with one move. I think another option over Fister is getting Shields from SD. Berrios though will need to stay in Triple A to stay stretched out in this scenario which stinks but might be necessary for the big clubs success. I also think the twins will and need to be very aggressive with all of their RP prospects. They need to be tested and ready ago by mid season should the big club has a need.

    I think the best option is to sell while his stock is high. The Twins obviously do not see him as a primary contributor in their future plans and EE is blocked by better options in both MI positions and 3rd. If he becomes a super utility (ie a Ben Zobrist type) where he can play the OF corners respectably as well i think it would be beneficial for the twins to keep him. If not I think it is best to try to package him to a team for pitching. The team that jumps out to me is the Mets. It has been discussed that they will be extremely active in the trade market for a solid SS and OFer in exchange for their plethora of SP talent . I wonder if the Mets would bite on a package that included EE and Arcia. Keith Law did a piece on the Starting Pitching market for this offseason and mentioned Zach Wheeler as a potential trade chip for the Mets. I don't know if a package of EE and Arcia would be enough but its certainly worth looking into.
