June 9, 20224 yr The Twins’ pen is a unit that has struggled thus far in 2022. However, there have been some bright spots, such as Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax. Which Twins relievers do you trust?
June 9, 20224 yr 16 minutes ago, alexthegreat said: My answer would be Duran, Jax, and Joe Smith. Me too, those 3 I pretty much trust implicitly, but looking at the rest of the pen I gotta ask: Trust with what? like Pagan for instance, he’s “fine”, I trust him ok for a hold, wouldn’t trust him in a “late and close” situation
June 9, 20224 yr Duran. Semi trust building in Jax. Thielbar next. I don't really trust any of the rest. Joe Smith had a nice, lucky 6 weeks, but I don't trust that to continue.
June 9, 20224 yr Tier 1: Duran Tier 2: Jax, Smith, Thielbar Tier 3: Pagan Tier 4: Cotton, Coulombe, Megill, Moran Tier 5: Duffey.

I would add that those tier 4 guys could and hopefully will jump up a tier or two. Let's hope Alcala gets healthy soon. It will look a lot better if Alcala gets back soon and one or two of those tier 4 guys steps up.

His stuff seems good, but I trust Thielbar and Jax to not walk guys and get themselves into trouble more at this point.
June 9, 20224 yr Other than Duran, I pretty much sit on the edge of seat the entire time that a reliever is pitching. I don't really have much trust in any of them generally speaking. Jax is growing on me, Thielbar is okay. For me, it's almost better to ask me which relievers I distrust the least.
June 9, 20224 yr No question...I think all of us would put Duran out there above any of the others. Jax has been pretty good, T-Bar has been decent. I think other than that, it's a total crap-shoot. I wouldn't trust any of the rest...especially Pagan and Duffey.
June 9, 20224 yr Of the interchangeable minor league FAs and waiver wire pickups, I'm most intrigued by Megill. But trust is nowhere in my vocabulary for any of them.
June 9, 20224 yr Megill is definitely in my trust zone. He's saved the rest of the arms a few times and could be used more as a liong man than he has. Duran, Jax, Thoelbar, and Smith I'm confident in, even in that order. Then Megill and that's probably it right now.
June 10, 20224 yr The well researched Kintzer-Wisler Principal indicates that one or more of Megill, Cotton and Moran will likely end up with a stat line that will require us to consider them a trustworthy reliever.
