Gavin Floyd

Only youngsters Gavin Floyd and John Danks are even adequate, with Floyd winning half of his last ten, and Danks winning four of them.

The Twins, on the other hand, seem to be peaking at just the right time. After losing four straight, including a sweep by the Yanks, after the break, they've won seven of nine, including three of four against Chicago last week. Their upcoming schedule is mighty soft, too. Nine of their next twelve are against last-place Seattle and Kansas City, and only fourteen of their remaining games this season are against teams not named Seattle, Kansas City, Toronto, Baltimore, Detroit, or Cleveland. Chicago's remaining games, on the other hand, have twenty-one games not featuring this same pack of teams, and three of those twenty-one are against the Twins.

Jerry Owens seems to think that not only is he going to earn himself the starting center fielder spot but he is going to steal 65 bases. Sound ridiculous? Not too ridiculous. He has increased his total every year through the minors: 30, 38, 40, and had a combined 56 last year between Charlotte and the Sox. Scotty Pods had 59 in 05 so if the kid even comes close to his goal that means we’ve got that whole lead off problem taken care of. That also means, without him saying as much, that he’s got to hit a lot higher than the .267 he gave us last year. For the fantasy folks this might be a good sleeper pick. I’m sure he’ll be around pretty late.
