Everett's "spot" on the roster has been shakey for a while, I think night's like tonight pretty much finish him off. If they can bring in Beltre this season, Lambykins will likely be shipped to ANYBODY who just wants to throw a body at the Twins. OF: Young/Span/Kubel (depending on Cuddy/Gomez health) IF: Beltre/Harris/Casilla/Morneau C: Mauer DH: Monroe Bench: Redmond/Buscher/Punto/...I'm forgetting somebody But now they've got Span as the confounding variable. So with injuries you've got Cuddyer, Gomez, Tolbert, and Everett...and like one spot for all of them. I'm guessing you could pull an Ortiz type trade with Punto and Lamb...but it'd be tough. I know everybody hates Punto...but Everett's no better. And Tolbert has been out for a WHILE. Long enough that I don't think being on the Twins bench is going to do anything to help him get his swing back. Evertt can just vanish. So Punto stays PLAYS OFF THE BENCH and that's that. His bat got hot, it's not anymore. While the Twins could still benefit from having Beltre in the lineup, Buscher demonstrated today that he could be replace Lamb on the bench.
