At least as a hitter. If Span went down for an extended period, Revere would be brought up. I suppose if he really struggles at AA they may do something else, but I don't think the Twins expect that to happen.<br /><br />The Twins want Revere to play everyday, so he wouldn't be considered for short term or as a backup. I think they are pretty sure be would be adequate if they really needed him to play everyday.<br /><br />The Twins really make an effort not to overhype a prospect. Still, enough leaks out so that you can tell when they are happy with the progress of someone.
