Why on Earth Won't the Twins Move Edouard Julien to First Base?

For Julien to improve at second base, he needs to play at second base. He will improve.

Tony Oliva was a marginal right fielder. Except for his accurate cannon arm. They left him in right. Didn't mess with his hitting by experimenting with him elsewher. And he eventually became a gold glover with his hard work.

Yeah, and Delmon Young got more and more reps in the outfield and kept getting worse. Miguel Sano was awful pretty much everywhere. Sometimes they just don't have the athleticism to play defense. Even if Julien improves, he'll still be like the 5th best choice in the organization to play defense at 2B next season.

Do people really think Julien would be worse than Delmon Young or Josh Willingham in LF?

Well, the Twins desperately need a LF, and they kept him at 2B even when Polanco returned.....so, maybe?
