Article: The Twins Awful, Unrepeatable Second Half

I've conceded that I miscounted and overstated. Your reply here actually underscores my point: They performed at replacement level. Average relievers would have allowed fewer runs, good relievers fewer still. So let's replace them.

I have no idea what "replacement level" is for inherited runner scored percentage, but yes, they were below average in that measure for a month and a half.

 

For the season, Burton was actually the best on the team by that measure, with a percentage better than the best team bullpen in the league.  And Duensing was within one run of league average by this measure too.

 

There's a case to be made that these relievers are worth replacing, but it's not in their below-average inherited runners scored percentage over one-fourth of the season.
