Twins: Stage set for Eduardo Nunez to claim shortstop job

TORONTO -- With Eduardo Nunez set to make just his second start at shortstop since July 9, Twins manager Paul Molitor was asked if the utility man had made himself a little better at his natural position.

"I would say much better," Molitor said. "Last week we were out early one day, and when he got done I pointed that out to him. I listed things I thought were exponentially better from when he got here last year: the quietness of his glove, getting his feet more in a fielding position and not getting tangled, his speed of release after catching balls.
