Not sure if I got the rotation order or the bullpen right but I think that either way this is a scary team who's young players are finally coming up to the bugs and the Twins will be serious contenders (even more than they were last year) in the next few years and they still have some players down in the system such as Polanco, maybe Kepler if Arcia wins their battle for a spot in the bigs out of spring training, Jay, Meyer, Darnell, Palka and many others as well, they will be like the Cubs and Astros in the next few years.

Does this make sense?

Misspelled a few names but that's no big deal, Escobar would start at SS, Arcia will probably start in the bigs over Kepler because he is out of options, replace Vargas with Nunez, Twins don't need another 1B/ DH on the roster.
Also it doesn't seem as though they will resign Cotts, more likely to fill the roles within and maybe sign a 4th outfielder.

Also it might be Santana starting in Center while Buxton spends more time in AAA.

I completely forgot about Nunez he will certainly be in the bigs over Vargus. And I don't really know the state of the Twins relievers and I didn't recognize the name of any more of the players so I just brought up the idea of re signing Cotts. And I think that Buxton will be starting in center next year because he has shown that he is big league ready. And Arcia will most likely win the 4th outfield spot over Kepler but I think Kepler will give him some competition for that spot. So I really think that this is at least 90% correct.

So correction:
1. Nunez replaces Varges on the bench
2. Arica wins the 4th outfield spot over Kepler
3. Escobar starts at SS and Santana moves to the bench and takes over the utility role
4. Replace Cotts in the bullpen with __________ (not sure who would replace him since I am not familiar with the twins relivers) who will replace him though?

5.) 28 Dec 2015

Who will it be?

6.) 28 Dec 2015
28 Dec 2015 20:06:25
Or will they sign a younger reliver?

7.) 28 Dec 2015
28 Dec 2015 20:28:42
Or trade for one. They have the depth to do so.

Buxton has shown here is major league ready in everything except hitting, so they still might have him in AAA in order to let his bat catch up a bit, And I don't really know who it would be, there hasn't been any real connection with free agents, that's why I would assume the bullpen help will come from within.

It could be any of Graham, Dean, Rogers, Melotakis, Meyer, etc.

I didn't put down any of those guys originally because I didn't know who they were.

this is believable, but what is your point?

That they are serious threat this season that's all.
