Redmond should catch if he's going to play and give Mauer another Day off, then he can play the next 5 in a row before the break... Young will most likely be in LF, with Span in CF... I hate seeing Kubel on the bench, but as long as Redmond doesn't DH and is instead catching, I can live with it... Mind you, Kubel will be the 1st one off the bench in any PH situation, or should be... Who's doing lineups today, Joe C or LaVelle?

Perhaps starting pitching is the reason we are turning it around. Not saying we can't improve elsewhere...but the Twins are winning and playing much better. Most of that was on the road too! Lala,
