Lueke and Wilhelmsen.  L-Rod is nice, but neither he nor Langerhans are gonna give us potential dominance.
Starting the 2011 season with two extra legit arms in the pen is good.  Neither is especially tested, especially at the big league level, but they are probably more talented than anyone else in the pen.  A few months ago I was afraid that Lueke might not be a part of this org at all, and nobody knew if we were gonna keep Wilhelmsen as a starter in the minors even though he could relieve in the majors right now.
Lueke, Wilhelmsen and Pineda are three examples of the team going for impact youth when it's feasible.
And Ackley is an example of playing for the future when feasible.
I like both responses, and the way we're handling the players involved.
