The Twins had three guys battling for the centerfield position this spring. Now they have two as Joe Benson, as expected, was optioned to AAA Rochester yesterday. Aaron Hicks and Darin Mastroianni are both still battling for the job, and BOTH may very well make the roster as outfielders this season.
Actually it's pretty much a given since Willingham, Hicks, Mastroianni, and Parmelee are the only OFs left on the roster. (Ryan Doumit is both the back-up catcher and a back-up outfielder so he doesn't really count.)
The outfield is set. We have to see how everything else shakes out in the next 10 days. Most of the starting rotation is still a huge question mark.
Trivia: What former Twins back-up catcher is now the Florida Marlins manager?
"Can you smell 'em?" himself, Mike Redmond.
