So who are the Twins planning on having play CF this year Jim? I saw something that said Gardenhire thought about putting Cuddyer out there (which would be scary was hell), and I just don't see many options. Are they still planning on whoever they'd get back in a Johan deal? Because other than that, the Twins look like a very underrated team going into the season, especially if Liriano can return to atleast a halfway decent form.

Benchwarmerjim Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 The most logical thing is to have Delmon in RF, Cuddy in LF, this Pridie guy that we got in the Delmon trade in CF and Kubel/Monroe platoon DH. Then again, in the Johan proposed trades, they might get a CFer so I think right now, its just guesswork. I think the Cuddy in CF thing was just Gardenhire throwing things out there.

Benchwarmerjim Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 I dont think Cuddyer wants to move back to third. From what I remember, the idea was toyed with last year (along with playing Mauer at 1B for a few games) but was shot down This year, you might see Mauer at 1b for a few games. I guess he is going to put in some work at spring training for that scenerio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he needs time off more often, DH him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benchwarmerjim Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I think its situations where Morneau is DH, Mauer at 1B and Redmond at C. There is no real backup for Mauer. last year, it was Jeff Cirillo, and a collage of minor league stiffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Kid Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 interesting note in the LA Times this morning. The '31 Yankees scored what is still a record 1067 runs...yet lost the pennant to Philadelphia, whose pitching staff had an ERA under 4. It was in a discussion about the Tigers, whom they don't see winning the division. They also argue that the white sox are the next SF Giants, who failed to rebuild and are destined to be one of the league's worst teams for some years to come.
