The Twins preseason game was broadcast on FSN yesterday so I decided to watch a few innings. Joe Mauer has been on fire since the WBC. He's hitting around .450 and yeasterday he had a homerun and a double while driving in SIX runs. And he did ALL of that by the fifth inning. Morneau added a homer as well.
The Twins decided to start P.J. Walters yesterday since he's been so good as a reliever so far this spring. He responded by looking just as bad as all of our other starters this preseason. (3 earned runs and 4 hits in 3 innings.)
It was a win, but starting pitching continues to look just sickenly awful. The young guys struggle with control and the older guys give up tons of runs. There really are no great choices at this point in time. Five (or Six) will be starters when the season starts and I don't hink Gardy even knows who those guys are going to be yet. And what do you you do with the three or four who don't make the rotation/
Do you send them to AAA, cut them, put them in the bullpen?
Tough choices. And I'm pretty sure I won't like most of those choices.
