Hey everyone. Thanks for stopping by. Let's get started.
I think this has been a real challenge for Ron Gardenhire, but these things have ways of sorting themselves out. Injuries will play a role. If Carlos Gomez keeps up this pace of 9 strikeouts per walk, that could open a door for Delmon, too.
The guess here is the Twins will take the safe route and option Brian Duensing to Rochester. Yes, Philip Humber is struggling, but there are enough teams searching for pitching (Orioles, Padres, etc.), that he would get claimed off waivers.
If the Twins didn’t add bullpen help last year, when it was so obvious they needed it, I have no reason to believe they’ll pull something off this year to get a power relief arm.
Great question. I think we’ll know more when he starts to run again. To pick a date now, I’ll say April 27, when they come back from their next road trip.
