Twins trade Revere!

[Outdoors Junkie]

The Twins traded Ben Revere to the Philly's for a major league starter and a minor league pitching prospect.

My questions are...

Who's going to play centerfield now with both Span and Revere gone?

How did we not get more for Span if we got two quality players for Revere?

Hicks or Benson will probably take over unless they pick up a veteran floating around. I have heard it is Hicks job to lose now.

The prospect we recieved from Span was high end value (Top 50), compared to Revere's returns which are middle of the road guys at this point. So it is going to be another wait and see.

I trust Terry Ryan to turn this thing around, so I support both moves.

I enjoyed watching Revere play but we need some starting pitching. Off this trade we get a starter and a future stater to go along with the pitcher we picked up in the Span trade. As for out fielders that is one thing MN has a lot of in the farm system. Masteroni and Hicks come to mind as replacements and there is another kid in double AA that put up some real good numbers last year to. At least MN is doing some at the winter meetings this year. I am still waiting to see if they move Willingham for yet another pitcher and are the M&M boys safe from the trading block?
