Cuddyer

[Nerfherders]

Looking for some Twins fans help here.

What is Cuddyer's future in Minnesota?

I have him on my prospect roster and I'm considering calling him up next year to be a backup, possible MI starter. I love his position flexibility and I'm wondering if he's the kind of player that will flourish when he gets everyday AB's.

That said, will he be a regular next year? Ive been hearing the Twins wont bring back Koskie at 3B.

a while ago I thought the twins were trying to turn him into a second basemen. I don't see him playing much though if he doesn't play third base. The outfield is crowded with Stewart, Lew ford, Hunter, and Jones, plus triple a prospect Michael Restovich.

He'll be the Twins 3B next year; Koskie won't be back (simply put, the Twins have shown no interest in bringing him back).

Twins 2005 should look like:

C -- Mauer
1B -- Morneau
2B -- Rivas
SS -- Guzman/ Bartlett
3B -- Cuddyer
LF -- Stewart
CF -- Torii
RF -- Ford/Kubel
DH -- Ford/Kubel

LeCroy should be in there vs. lefties (whether at 1B or Catcher).

I'd pencil Cuddyer down for .260-.270 20 HR 80 RBI -- and should be 2B eligible as well (where is the position he'll have the most value).
