There is little doubt, IMO, the Twins bullpen can't sustain as currently constructed. And the rotation really can't afford an injury. This isn't exactly a "way out there" take. But my main takeaway from the article is the stark, black and white proof found in the historical Twins' collective K rate that the end of the Terry Ryan era didn't go very well.
Taylor Rogers hasn't pitched since May 7th, and only twice since April 29th. There were logical places to use him this weekend against Detroit. Nursing an injury?
I wouldn't mind adding a starter that slots in 1st or 2nd in the postseason. Short of that, add to the bullpen, but again, they need to add guys at or above the Rogers level. Adding to the bottom of the pen accomplishes nothing.
Well, maybe, but Giles went to AAA (and was traded) more for uttering a few choice words to AJ Hinch when being removed from a game than for performance. Some might consider that a reason not to acquire him, which I can respect, but I disagree.
