I'm going to assume that the roster will look something like this:
Starters
C - Mauer
1B - Morneau
2B - Nishioka
SS - Casilla
3B - Valencia
OF - Young
OF - Span
OF - Cuddyer
DH - Kubel
Bench
Thome (DH/1B)
Butera (C)
Repko (OF)
Hughes (2B)
Tolbert (3B/Util)
Pitchers
SP - Liriano
SP - Pavano
SP - Blackburn
SP - Baker
SP - Duensing
Relievers
Nathan
Capps
Slowey
Burnett
Manship
Looks like its 14 position players and 11 pitchers.

Who is the 11th pithcer? You only have 10. I would say they would have 12 with Mijares and Perkins. They would have to drop either Tolbert or Hughes down to AAA but that wouldn't be bad. Personally I would keep Hughes up. He can play a lot of positions. Also Thome hasn't even had a glove in his locker for many years now. I doubt he plays any first base. haha

I missed Mijares on the Relievers list...and it has Thome as the 4th string 1st baseman (Kubel was listed 3rd behind Morneau and Cuddyer). I agree I could see Perkins being up and I could see Tolbert go down...Hughes has a little better bat and good speed and its not like he would be used everyday...just sparingly..I was just going off of what I heard through ESPN and the Star Tribune

I find it funny that Kubel is higher than Thome on the depth chart at 1st ha. Hughes could even be ahead of him. It is sad that Thome doesn't even have a glove in his locker. I mean didn't he come up as a 3B/1B for Indians when he started playing?
