Seems that many think that Cuddy can't/won't do it. I am of the belief that if it means he plays, he will do his best to acclimate himself to the hot corner. It may extend his career, who knows? Anyway, Span is probably not going to play center for the Twins, his arm is better suited for left, definitely not right field. Gomez has the range and arm for center while Young would be the better fit for Right. If Span is here to stay (I don't see any reason why not), the time is now to start considering the future look of the outfield. Once Gomez comes back, I would really like to see this shift employed at least a couple times. If Young is going to stay the Left-Fielder, so be it, but I would really like to see Span's speed put to use in Left instead of Right field.
