Well said guys, cuddyer should go. We are doing well w/out him so why change things?

Cuddy is the right fielder, and should stay there. Span has good defensive skills, but no power, and is left handed, which hurts him. I could see him platooning with Young in left, and see which one develops faster. If Span was right handed he might take Monroes spot as dh and 4th outfielder but..... The Twins have 4 quality outfielders with Kubel being o.k. too.....Monroe is the odd-man-out.....if he doesn't tear-up left handed pitching(that is the only reason he was brought in here), he won't stick around. With power RH bats as a big need, Cuddy isn't in danger.

yeah but Cuddy isnt a power guy either

What a coincidence, I know you too.

Just got done reading an article in the StarTrib talking about Span staying up in the majors after Cuddy comes back...hopefully it pans out that way

Its the beginning of the end for Cuddy

One can only hope.

really? I am not sold on Delmon yet. He looks awful in left field. And the way Garza has been pitching makes that trade look even worse. I am not saying cuddy is the answer cuz these finger pains are getting a little annoying. Take a pain killer and get out there(might affect his vision, but maybe that would affect it positively ). Maybe things will straighten out for these guys after the all star break. All I know is the team as a whole is doing better than most people thought they would this year. Also, the way Chicago and Detroit have spent money on players they should be on the top of the division. But everyone knows how that's been going for the skankees the last few seasons.

Span went 4-4 tonight and has been doing great at the plate and on defense ever since he came up to fill in for Mr. DL. Let's hope they leave him in and do the team a favor.

Cuddyer who?

delmon young hit .321 in june

0-6 today, ouch! hope he hits a couple balls in play tomorrow!

exactly, and defense is a must which i havent seen too much defense from young yet. still, its only half way through and he has some time to turn things around.

I would rather have cuddyer than young, Either way I think we trade Young or Kubel, One of the two.

Yikes....Young is just that, young, lots of time left for him.
Kubel is a DH and spot player, but is not that bad. Although he is steaky. Lamb will be the one to go. Don't mess up to much of a good thing we got going. I can live with Cuddy, and Span will be a good relief for Gomez, Cuddy and Young.
There might be a possibility of Monroe being gone, but we still need his right hand bat on the bench, although, why pinch hit righty for lefty like tonite with Harris for Bucher, when Bucher hit the ball hard his other at bats???

Yeah I wasn't happy when they pinch hit Harris for Buscher.

I think both Lamb and Everett are gone once Tolbert comes back healthy.
