There are many good things about the Twins season this year:
Jim Thome's 600th homer.
Harmon Killebrew tribute.
Joe Nathan's record-breaking save (even while the save stat is stupid--it isn't his fault!).
Francisco Liriano threw a no-hitter.
Glen Perkins established himself as an upper-tier setup man.
Chris Parmelee showed that he will be a legitimate contributor in the near future.
It became clear that Brian Duensing needs to be a situational lefty out of the bullpen.
Ben Revere showed that he's close, and even if that "close" just means close to Juan Pierre quality, that actually isn't too bad.
Michael Cuddyer had a good year.
Some young guys got a taste and showed intermittent signs of being able to contribute in 2012. These players are: Rene Tosoni, Trevor Plouffe, Luke Hughes, Joe Benson, Liam Hendriks, Lester Oliveros, and Brian Dinkelman. I don't think that some of them *should* contribute in 2012, but that is no matter.
