The Shallow
Scott Baker – Starting Pitcher (SP)
Scottie “Too Hottie” Baker has been given a rough go this season. The numbers ain’t pretty, but the control and tasty potential is.
Even though he’s been tagged for 12 Home Runs in only 8 appearances, Mr. Baker has been the victim of being left on the mound an inning too long all season. His last few starts have drawn mixed results, but I see light at the end of his tunnel, and a very nice June should be in store for Mr. Baker and the Twins.
Lookout AL Central, cause here comes the mystifying Twins…How do they do it year in and year out?
The Deep
Anthony Swarzak – Starting Pitcher (SP)
Swarzak’s major league debut couldn’t have gone any better. He threw 7 shutout innings against a strong Brewer lineup, only conceding 5 hits, while striking out 3.
His Triple AAA numbers between this season and last have been outstanding (8-4 with a 2.02 ERA and a 1.19 WHIP, along with 58 K’s in 89 innings).
The combination of the Twins ability to always pump out good young hurlers, his minor league success and his victorious debut are reasons to believe that Swarzak is worth grabbing in deep or keeper leagues if available.
