That's a good question, especially since there is zero chance he's starting at 2B for the Twins unless they lose Julien, Polanco, Lee, and Farmer all at the same time. His future is in CF or LF, not 2B, imo. (though he can be a utility guy that also plays 2B). The only thing I can think of is...well, two things....they wanted him comfortable on his return, and they think 2B is harder to master so they had him working there. The third option is they think he's a 2B......which, um, then he'll be dealt at some point next year.
