Kubel may have torn ACL


Recommended Posts

The Twins fear that Jason Kubel suffered a torn ACL while playing in the Arizona Fall League this week.

If it's a torn ACL, Kubel, who was expected to start in right field for the Twins next season, could miss the first two or three months. That would probably result in Lew Ford playing right and open up playing time for Matthew LeCroy or Michael Restovich.

Am I missing something here? Why would this kid start if they already have 4 everyday players in their outfield already? I know they will likely trade Jones but that still leaves 3 of them. Not to mention the highly acclaimed Cuddyer on the bench.

Here's how I project their Line-up right now

 

1B - Morneau/Mauer/LeCroy

2B - Rivas/Cuddyer/Punto

SS - Bartlett

3B - Mauer/Cuddyer/Tiffie

LF - Stewart

CF - Hunter

RF - Ford

C - Mauer/LeCroy/Blanco

DH - Restovich/Kubel

 

They are going to be shopping Hunter, in exchange for pitching help. In which case Ford will play center. They are going to look to bring in Vizquel @ SS too, as a #2 hitter, where they were the worst in baseball last season.
