Jason Kubel continued to make a case to start in right field by driving in three runs with a two-run shot and a sacrifice fly Wednesday. After the game, Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said he wouldn't hesitate to use Kubel in that role. "He's putting a pretty good swing on the bat," Gardenhire said. "(Front-runner Michael) Cuddyer's out right now. I would not be uncomfortable if I started (Kubel) on opening day. I had him out there against the Yankees in the playoffs."
I have my 6 man bench draft this weekend, is he worth consideration, and how much would you put down on him $$$$ in an auction bench draft. I have always been a Kubel Fan,
I'm a Kubel fan too, and I really expect him to be starting sometime this season. Cuddyer proved last season he's not very good. Personally, I'd take the risk of having him on your bench, worst case scnario you have to find a different OF to carry at a later date over him.
