The Twins have not gotten it together at all this year. The offense has been terrible. Michael Cuddyer is barely batting over .100 and joining him in the sub-.200 club are Delmon Young, Danny Valencia, Alexi Casilla, and Jim Thome. Denard Span leads the team with a .342 obp. The Twins have 3 home runs, 2 stolen bases and a bad injury to the guy (Nishioka) who could have competed for the SB team lead this year.
Meanwhile, the starting pitching aside from Nick Blackburn has been terrible, although maybe Carl Pavano's first start was merely an anomaly, given that his second start went well. Dusty Hughes and Jeff Manship have been predictably bad.
The good news is that, aside from one rough inning from Joe Nathan, the back end of the bullpen has been great, with only two earned runs given up in 16 1/3 innings pitched from Perkins, Mijaraes, Capps, and Nathan.
