    That's kind of my point. If a guy isn't good enough to hold a single position the ability to play marginally at three or four doesn't help. I get the benefit of having an option or two on the bench; you don't need 5 or 6 of them on the roster and you don't need half your AAA roster shuffling positions in hopes of making major league players out of AAAA filler. If the guy can't do a major league job it's time to dump him and bring the next guy up, not waste another season or two trying to turn chicken byproducts into chicken salad.

    We keep bringing up prospects who can't defend a position. I also continue to read minor league reports of players playing C, OF, 1B in the space of a week. Do other organizations shuffle their prospects from position to position? I'd like to think by the time you've promoted a prospect to AAA you'd figured out where he fits on D. An earlier poster pointed out that repetition is key to improvement. Constantly changing position with these guys cannot be helping their development.

    Thanks.

    Is Aaron Hicks still batting right-handed exclusively?

    Your plan only makes sense for an organization who's top goal is winning a world series. The Twins have demonstrated their number one concern is making money. Winning is nice if it happens but the cash flow target (whatever it may be) is the focus.
