Gardy said Rivas will be his second baseman when he is activated

First off, are you kidding me? No way should he get his playing time right away when he comes back. He has to earn it. Guys like Brent and even Luis Rodriguez has done a good job at second base. They shouldn't have to lose their job even if Luis comes back. I like our situation at 2B with Brent, Luis Rodriguez, who is showing me something with his glove, and Nick Punto. I am not sure if Luis fits in our big picture.

I really rolled my eyes in disbelief when I read about this at Twinsbaseball.com

Looks like Rivas isn't going for his rehab. He'll be starting in the infield I believe tonight. Castro fouled a ball of his sore ankle and Abernathy is on the DL. I like this Williams kid though. I just wish we didn't have to use Cuddyer at 2nd. Should be interesting till we get some players back healthy!
