He could play every day in Nashville rotating between SS and the OF to get the experience there.  I'm not sold on Newman to begin hitting like a good everyday SS but I think he needs a chance.  Give his month on the ML roster and if he is in a hitting funk you can trade him if there are any takers or just release him.  His salary is not much and BOB should be able to eat the cost this season.
My guess is that Cruz starts the season in AAA while Newman plays SS. But I think Cruz will be promoted some time after the Super 2 requirements are satisfied, depending on how Newman is hitting.
