However, postseason depth is much, much different than regular season depth. Come October, teams with a talented bench don’t necessarily have a useful bench. Consider 2019-2020 super-utility man Marwin Gonzalez fo...14971Mon, 11 Sep 2023 15:13:02 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/call-the-sheriff-what-can-chris-paddack-provide-in-a-bullpen-role-r14962/The infamous Taylor Rogers-for-Emilio Pagan trade left many bewildered at the time, and especially so when the former thrived with his new team and the latter scuffled mightily.

Minnesota is averaging 6.8 runs per game this month, which included a 20-run outburst against Cleveland.  There are a few guys fantasy players should focus on while the offense is hot.

He's addicted to them.

The only blemish was a poorly-timed homer allowed against Cleveland. The Twins are surely hoping that they have an emerging piece of the current and future bullpen.
