But do we?? Cody Schoenmann takes a look, and there are lots of good insights here.

	It looks pretty innocuous. Garrett Acton isn't notably big or small. He doesn't have a funky arm angle or a complicated delivery. He just kicks and delivers, and it's not like his fastball hums in at 100 miles per hour. On the contrary, in his two appearances with the Twins so far this se...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20143</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 Apr 2026 12:17:15 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Red Sox 9, Twins 5: Defensive Lapses Cost Twins Chance to Sweep Sox</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/red-sox-9-twins-5-defensive-lapses-cost-twins-chance-to-sweep-sox-r20138/</link><description>Box Score
