I mostly agree, but I think the Twins are doing it right with Parmelee. Hes been hot since he got called up last year and seems confident. The coaches showing confidence in him will only help him: baseball is more mental than physical. Investing in his upside makes sense, even at his age; I hear he's a real hard worker, so he'll do what he can to make adjustments. And even if they were wrong, and Parmelee is too young for the big leagues and doesn't produce, they can bring up Burroughs to replace him and let him get some time at AAA.

Well I like the situation we have with our outfield, because a couple of those guys wont pan out, but they all have enough upside where we should be able to get a couple of quality starters and maybe an all star. I would think that by the time they all should be pushing for the big leagues we would have a better idea of who is or isn't going to pan out. Best case scenario, all four outfielders are deserving of playing time. If thats the case, we can either trade one away for another position of need, or hold on to them all, assuming that at least one wont prove themselves long term. I'd rather the latter happens, because that way you don't risk trading the wrong guy away.
