Self inflicted by the May spot start, followed by a planned short start by Duffey, followed by a BP start. This team has had an 8 man pen for the better part of the year and for the most part it's been unnecessary, but I guess if pointing to a lousy rotation is your defense of it, ok then, score one for TR. To add, if they didn't feel the need to cart around an 8 man pen, there might actually be room for Buxton and Robinson on this roster. As has been stated ad nauseam elsewhere, there is plenty of playing time between Hunter and Mauer days off for Buxton to get plenty of playing time every week. At least, there should be.
