I am less worried about Hunter's defense than you, in part because I find it hard to see how he starts even a hundred games this year in the outfield. It will be interesting how the Twins work things out. They have made statements that Hunter could start over 140 games this year. They have stated that Rosario is almost ready. Clearly Buxton could be as good right now as any of the other CF candidates(as you stated in your last post). The Twins also seem committed to giving Hicks a real shot at proving he is a real major leaguer. It may be that Plouffe will have to be shifted to the outfield to make room for Sano. I am interested in how the Twins will work all of this out. At some point this year there could be, perhaps should be too many outfielders for too few positions. I can't imagine the Twins playing a 40 year old outfielder if the future shows it belongs in the majors. Jim Hnoreply@blogger.com
