Roster Thoughts

The Twins decision to carry four outfielders will have some serious limitations for the club. Essentially they have no ability for late inning defensive changes. Last year in virtually every close game where Kubel or Young were in left they were replaced defensively late in games. Sure they can place Punto or Castilla in the outfield but with their limited experience is it really an upgrade? Furthermore, they are limited with pinch hitting and pinch running for the leftfielder. Seems inevitable that this will become an issue.
