Article: The Ripple Effect of Mauer's Move to First
Rusty replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Because of this ripple affect, I have to wonder what's going to happen to Twins prospects close to being ready. Colabello and Parmelee have already been mentioned. Willingham and Doumit (I highly doubt you'll see him catching much next season leaving outfield, DH and maybe first as his only positions.) are already on the roster and should be in that mix for the next couple years. Presley and Mastoianni are there as well. Not to mention Plouffe might loose his third base job soon. Leaving OF as his new home. Hicks, Arcia, Rosario, Buxton, and Kepler are one to three years away. Essentially you will have 12 players fighting for 4 starting spots the next couple years. Of those 12, four could have played first. Kepler, Colabello, Parmelee, and Doumit. Now they are on top of the outfield log jam. That means somebody WILL be traded. Which brings me to my question... Who is the most likely to be traded out of this group? What would be an acceptable trade? Can you get MLB ready guys for any of these guys? Or at least high end prospects? Who will play the outfield and DH in 2015
