Twins | CF expected to be filled within

Minnesota Twins general manager Terry Ryan said he expects the team to fill the center field vacancy from within their organization next year, with OFs Darin Mastroianni, Aaron Hicks and Joe Benson (knee) competing for the position. Mastroianni will be the favorite heading into spring training. Hicks has never played at Class AAA and is likely to start at Triple-A Rochester before being brought up. Benson is expected to be fully healthy after having knee surgery in late August.
