It all comes down to $$ and who we have. Cuddy just seems like the piece that is expendable. Sure, he is versatile, but he is also 30 years old now. I think the Twins could pull some good players including him. Unless you can sign the guy for a reasonable contract for the next 4-5 years, I just seem him making the decline with the Twins. Cuddyer played well as a Twin...I just think it's time for the Twins to part with him. They won't because of his clubhouse presence, but I wouldn't be heartbroken to see him traded.

What's your take on Blackburn? He looked like an ace to me in game 2.

Blackburn is solid. I've always liked Blackburn. I still consider Baker to be our Ace though. Blackburn is just a solid, big-game pitcher. But not someone that can lead the staff, imo.
