Will the production of Brian Buscher be enough to satisfy Twins' management? Will the Twins get anything out of free-agent bust Mike Lamb? If not, will the Twins pursue Mariners' third baseman Adrien Beltre in earnest?
Will the bullpen settle down enough to allow manager Ron Gardenhire to continue using Joe Nathan exclusively in save situations? If not, will the Twins pursue options in trade to acquire a set-up man to better ensure that they will get the ball to Nathan?
Will Livan Hernandez continue his tightrope act and keep winning games despite his horrid ERA? Would this team consider calling Francisco Liriano up from AAA? If so, who gets bumped from the rotation?
Given the weak competition they face in this stretch, the Twins should capitalize regardless of these issues. Other than the White Sox, the teams they face in this stretch have a combined record of 141-144.
If the Twins do what good teams are supposed to—win the games they are supposed to—they should be in good shape with three series-wins heading into a pivotal matchup with the White Sox to end the month.
Perhaps by that time, some new names will be on the back of some of the jerseys in Twins territory. Only time will tell.
