Avoiding The Max Power Way

Today is the (highly?) anticipated 2010 debut of Brian Duensing as a starting pitcher. His success as a starter in 2009 and as a reliever in 2010 has many fans feeling rather confident in his ability to revive a struggling Twins rotation. I’ve already admitted that I was wrong in thinking that the Twins would give Nick Blackburn’s rotation spot to Jeff Manship, but I’m still a bit shocked that they pulled Blackburn from the rotation so fast and immediately gave it to Duensing despite not being stretched out very much.
