it’s not so much about Dobnak, but about how the Twins treat their players. Dobnak does a great job and gets handshakes from the bullpen guys, next thing you know Dobnak’s on a different flight back to AAA.
Message for the back end bullpen guys = do a good job, get demoted,
Everyone else should be rested. Dobnak could easily have been allowed to recharge for a couple of days like any other guy, be available for Wednesday for sure.
and there is the small chance maybe he even found his grip this year and can roll some good innings consistently and makes spot starts. (not likely given his history but not impossible).
The MLB doesn’t need a rule; the Twins need a plan.
I would be interested to see how often the well run teams do this kind of stuff, as compared to the other cookie cutter teams like the Twins.
