Fun stat of the day from Gleeman:
Gavin Williams has a 2.82 ERA in 10 career starts vs. the Twins, holding them to a .201 batting average and .270 slugging percentage.
Highlights the problem of the Swiss Army knife approach, the Twins take to their defense. You can use a Swiss Army knife for just about anything, but it’s often not the right tool for the job.
I like Josh Bell. I don’t have a problem with Josh Bell, but he should not be a contending teams number three or number four hitter. Probably 6,7,8
Twins haven’t had a true number three or four hitter since Nelson Cruz was traded, IMO.
Twins barely have five starters as it is. Keep Joe and revisit in the offseason. Otherwise you’d have to get an MLB arm in return that could pitch in Aug/Sept.
12 days until the deadline and the Twins aren’t playing like buyers right now. It’s been said numerous times by numerous TD users, but I hope they don’t mortgage the future for 2026. This is not a deep playoff run, championship roster.
