Ranking the Twins Weakest Positions
Bodie replied to Cody Christie's topic in Twins Daily Front Page News
Most worrying position(s)? That is really a no-brainer IMHO. It is pitching and it's use and abuse by Rocco! No bullpen I can think of can take a full season of Baldelli's 4-plus innings of relief per game. Either the physical strain will fell several arms over the season, or overuse will expose why they are bullpen guys and not starters. And no, I don't think that can be fixed with quantity (the only real option for the Twins) or quality arms in reserve. Simply put, no team past or present could stand up to the new-wave style of Rocco (backed to the hilt by the front office) or anyone else asking what he does. And this doesn't add in the long-term damage done to the starters who never learn to pitch when in a spot of trouble...
