Twinkie Town The Twins are in desperate need of a starting pitcher who can miss bats and work deep into a game. Would you settle for one out of two? Samuel Deduno #21 / Pitcher / Minnesota Twins Height: 6-3 Weight: 190 Bats: R Throws: R Born: Jul 02, 1983 Here's what we expect out of Deduno: a lot of strikeouts, a lot of walks, and a lot of pitches in 5 or 6 innings of work. The already overworked bullpen could use 7 or 8 innings. The already overwhelmed team, losers of nine in a row, could use just about anything. W-L G GS CG SHO SV BS IP H R ER HR BB K ERA...

He strikes more than a batter per inning, doesn't walk many, has a .276 OPS-against vs. left-handers and .628 OPS-against vs. right-handers. Early in the second, you could proclaim him a key component of the late-innings bu...
