		<description>T,
"Both he and Everett were signed with the idea that they’d be expendable if somebody in the minors showed promise."

How do you know what the Twins were thinking when Harris and Everett were added? Are you psychic?</description>

		<description>romer, I really don't think the Twins would drop Harris in order to keep Everett.  It would fly in the face of the committment to youth they're trying to go with this year.

Both he and Everett were signed with the idea that they'd be expendable if somebody in the minors showed promise.

Well, Tolbert and Buscher have that potential.  So it's time for those two to hold up their end.

Lamb can remain on the bench.  Punto will fill the utility role better than Everett.</description>

		<description>P.S. Does anyone know if Harris can play any outfield? Could he fill Monroe's role as the 5th and barely used outfielder?

Monroe's didn't look very intense in his pinch hit appearance yesterday. He didn't swing the bat once as he was warming up and approaching the plate and stepping into the batter's box. He doesn't look like a pinch hitter.

If Young remains in his slump, maybe they can give Monroe one last chance and start him in left for a few games. If that doesn't work, then release him.

Then Punto could play the role of the 5th and barely used outfielder, and Harris can platoon at 3B.</description>

		<description>T, it would be a surprise if the Twins dump Everett (if he gets healthy) and go with Harris and Tolbert.

Tolbert made the team and has proven it wasn't a fluke. They won't send him down and keep Harris.

With the 12 man pitching staff, there's no room for Harris ----- unless they dump Everett and his $2M+ contract.

But you're right, the Twins have to deal with the hole at 3B. And I agree that Lamb would be wonderful on the bench.

HE'S the guy, jimmy bee, that I want to remind me of Randy Bush.

And twinsfan32 (at 6:58 yesterday), I'm not worried about Mauer.

But I am worried about Young. He doesn't look that athletic sometimes, the way his legs are hooked up or something. And his BA is now lower the Gomez's</description>
