I think you’re right there’ll be some sort of uprising — I’m just curious what kind. Span sure seems likable, so it probably won’t be at his expense. Kubel has remained pretty aloof, much moreso than Cuddyer — he may be the victim.

Free Jason Kubel … Imprison Michael Cuddyer?

Even though he was average last season, and terrible in limited time this season. The last time he was above average was 2006. But he is a good option as a DH against lefties. I hope he doesn't steal at bats from Kubel.</p> I have a feeling there will be an mild uprising demanding playing time for Cuddyer.

First, there's his foot to consider. Secondly, even if he's healthy, he sucks in right compared to Mr Web Gem, Denard F'ing Span. And even if Gomez is a black hole at the plate, he can run 250 feet and make a double to the gap look like an easy out. That's worth something.</p> I doubt Cuddyer will be playing in the field any time soon. First, there’s his foot to consider.
