The Twins still have 39 men in camp. That needs to be 25 by the end of the week.
Gardy wants to keep Jason Bartlett so bad, that he may just cut Alex Presly, and make Bartlett his back-up center fielder. Gardy is stubborn that way.
Folks seem to forget that there are only FOUR non starters on the bench. You have 9 regular starters including the DH. 12 pitchers and four remaining spots. That's it. Some teams go with 13 pitchers and just three bench players.
Right now ONE of those players is Chris Herman at catcher because he can also be used elsewhere.
The other candidates are Josmil Pinto (but that would be a third catcher and Gardy rarely does that.)
Eduardo Escobar as back-up infielder, though Gardy still like Bartlett.
And Alex Presly as the back-up centerfielder. (or again Bartlett)
Colabello and Parmalee are still dark horses instead of Presley or Bartlett, in the outfield. Since both are out of options, my guess is that their Twins careers are over. One will be gone for sure.
