I’ve been trying to figure out the way the Twins plan on using Jim Thome and after reading a number of articles it finally seems to be almost making sense. It looks like the plan is if any of five different players is injured or needs a day to rest Thome gets the DH spot.
| Player out | Player 1 shift | Player 2 shift | Player 3 shift | Player 4 shift |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Denard | Cuddy to CF | Delmon to RF | Kubel to LF | Thome to DH |
| Morneau | Cuddy to 1st | Delmon to RF | Kubel to LF | Thome to DH |
| Cuddy | Delmon to RF | Kubel to LF | Thome to DH | |
| Delmon | Kubel to LF | Thome to DH | ||
| Kubel | Thome to DH |
