Ty France, Harrison Bader and Kody Clemens being important pieces to a twins team is so on brand, but its working and im enjoying the team. I should have never tweeted about Buxton but we need him back out there.

The Twins rotation is legit though if Paddack can somehow keep up what he's doing. It won't be to this level but getting 5-7 innings out of him regularly is giving the team so much help. The bullpen has been awesome since the first month too. But AL Central is the best division in baseball so we'll see how it shakes out with injuries and the law of averages

It appears the Dodgers tried making Ben Casparius into a starter in the minor leagues but control issues forced him to the bullpen.

Fangraphs has his arsenal as Fastball, Slider, Cutter, Curveball.
I guess if he could develop a change up, or improve his curve he might be an interesting talent.

I don't recall seeing him pitch but I was checking the box scores of last night's game and he went 3 innings of relief, striking out 6. That caught my attention.

usually when they have bullpen games
jack dreyer/knack will start for an inning or 2

then casparius goes 2/3 sometimes 4

him & dreyer been probably our most reliable relievers this year

everyone else been so inconsistent

I had him on one of my rosters for ratio help. And then the dodgers didn't pitch him for like 10 days or more.

Frankly I’m concerned about Mookie Betts.
His barrel rate is just 4.2%, down from 12.4% just 2 years ago.

I don’t know if that will improve over the course of the season but he’s off to a cool start by his standards.
