After trading Jose Berrios and losing Kenta Maeda to injury, the starting pitching lacks depth, high-end talent, floor, etc. Despite this fact, 14 of the top 15 starting pitchers on the f...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">11908</guid><pubDate>Sun, 27 Feb 2022 13:45:06 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Johnson & Johnson: How Deron and Sean Rose Up the Ranks in the Twins' Front Office]]></title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/johnson-johnson-how-deron-and-sean-rose-up-the-ranks-in-the-twins-front-office-r11913/</link><description>Growing up in Vallejo, California, now a bustling metropolis just south of Napa Valley and across the bay from San Francisco, Deron Johnson always thought of himself as more of a basketball guy. That is until he got to high school.&#xA0;

He&#x2019;s thrown a total of 26 &#x2154; innings in the majors, and it&#x2019;s unfair to expect the same production as the first four starts of his career.

One is active with the San Francisco Giants, Anthony DeSclafani, and the other was the right fielder for the Twins from 1975-1978, &#x201C;Disco&#x201D; Dan Ford. One has earned the nickname simply as a play on their last name.

	If you&#x2019;re weary and fatigued by the incremental progress made between the Players Union and MLB during the lockout, you needn&#x2019;t despair, baseball is up and running.
