Pavano vs Masterson
A winning streak!
2011 Game 154: Mariners at Twins
Pineda vs Slowey
I think the Twins have a decent chance of winning this game. Three players from the opening day lineup and an outfield with three center fielders should make it easier for Slowey, assuming he keeps it in the park.
2011 Game 149: Cleveland Indians at Minnesota Twins
Jimenez vs Slowey
Jimenez's rWAR since being traded to Cleveland: -0.1.
Slowey's rWAR since being acquired from Rochester: -0.1.
I think that means Slowey has a chance to slow the Race to the Bottom. He is 0-5 though, so maybe not.
2011 Game 144: Minnesota Twins at Detroit Tigers
Kevin "Malingerer" Slowey v Brad Penny
Per Joe C:
Revere CF
Plouffe 2B
Mauer C
Kubel DH
Valencia 3B
Parmelee 1B
Benson RF
Tosoni LF
Nishioka SS
Some thoughts:
- Gardy must really hate Plouffe's defense at shortstop. Is it really worse than Nishioka's?
- Slowey should really like the outfield defense today. I don't know how good Tosoni is at LF, though TZL rates him as +3 so far this year. Nonetheless, with Revere in CF and Benson in RF, this is going to be a no doubles night.
- This is the first time Mauer has caught since August 20.
2011 Game 142: White Sox at Twins
Peavy vs Hendriks
Good luck Hendriks. You have long odds tonight. Actually, I expect the Twins to score 11 runs. I mean, of course they have to break out with the AAA lineup, right?
2011 Game 137: Twins at Angels
Pavano v Weaver Tyler Chatwood.
The Twins have a one game lead over the Royals for last place of the annual worst division. At 57-79, they are just three losses from guaranteeing a losing year. Averaging each entry for the poll, I get ~70 wins as the expected number. That means they'll win 13 out of their final 26 games. Nope, not happening. Extrapolating their current record out nets them 10 wins, which means a top five draft pick next year. Here's to a strong draft class next year and loose purse strings. It may be our only hope.
