26-year old lefty swinging Denard Span will be the starting CF in 2010 for the Twins. Span played in 145 games for the Twins last season in which he was 180 of 578 (.311 avg, .807 OPS) with 97 runs scored, 8 homers, 68 RBIs and 23 stolen bases. Span played in 84 games in CF for the Twins last season in which he made 1 error while showing good range. Span also had 1 assist while in CF last season. Look for Span to excel in 2010 now that he has a full-time staring gig at one position instead of moving around the outfield.

24-year old righty swinging Delmon Young will back up Span in CF in 2010. He didn’t play any games in CF last season but with Carlos Gomez off to the Brewers he will likely get at least a few games in CF this season.

PROJECTED GRADE FOR THE CF IN 2010: B
