MLB Today: How Long do the Twins Stick with Nick Punto?

/ Baseball, MLB Today

Things are bad enough already. Keep in mind that just 10 days ago Minnesota was in first place in the AL Central. Now, it’s in third place, 3.5 games back of the super hot White Sox, who are a half game up on Detroit. Hell, even Kansas City, playing better of late, has pulled within seven games of the Twins, as inconceivable as it seems that the Royals could overtake Minny.

It’s All-Star break time. Enjoy the festivities, but at the same time take this opportunity to do a thorough analysis of your Fantasy teams. The second half is just around the corner and plotting a solid strategy for the final portion of the season should be first and foremost on our minds.

The 23-year-old lefty, a second rounder way back in 2005, finally made his MLB debut Thursday and what a start it was — seven strong innings of two-hit, two-run ball at Wrigley Field. Armed with a great changeup, Wood should prove to be a useful option for at least another start or two. Note that even if he loses his job to Volquez, there’s a chance Wood could be packaged in a deal as the Reds plan to be buyers at the deadline. Should that happen, Wood will head to a team where he will almost assuredly be given a chance to pitch every fifth day in a non-pressure situation.

Dear RotoRob: Any Roster Suggestions?

/ Baseball, Dear RotoRob, Tim McLeod

You are one of the many Fantasy players that got hurt badly by Boston’s West Coast follies this week. Losing Pedroia is going to hurt so I’d keep my eyes open for a 2B type, but would imagine it is probably very thin on the waiver wire at that slot. For the most part, I like your team. You have a good balance of speed and power on offense, but I do agree that your pitching could use a few tweaks.
