Additionally, Caleb Thielbar has been around the “longest” making his first appearance with the team in 2013, with a 5 year gap included

Can’t believe Arraez has already played 331 games

I still remember joking that he was going to be my new favorite player in the game thread where he got his first hit

I knew he was gonna be my favorite after about 10 games. I haven't liked a Twins player this much since Kirby when I was a little kid.

I was literally just discussing this with my wife last night. We were talking about how the roster is a bit of a revolving door over the past few years and relatively 'young' guys like Kep and Polo are our locker room vets.

It’s also amazing how young overall this team really is.

The ‘veterans’ are only 29-30 and we’re already talking about the next core group coming up.

Sent this comment to my longtime gf who is a Cubs fan. Maybe I can get her to love watching Polanco near as much as I do lol

I’m telling ya, I went down to Spring Training b4 that season started & he looked awesome. I was legitimately pumped to see what he could do.
