But if we can't get to the bullpen, then what good does it do out there? Do you understand? So we're trying to figure some things out,\" manager Ron Gardenhire said.","spin":"Duensing pitched three innings in his last outing, which could be a sign the Twins are stretching out to return to the rotation. Duensing has been much better in his career out of the bullpen where he's tough on lefties. As a starter, he was exposed to too many right-handed batters and struggled with a 5.24 ERA last season.","date":"Sat May 12"},"fullName":"Brian Duensing","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"After impressing while spot starting in 2009 and 2010, Duensing began last season in the rotation but was victimized by a high BABIP, sending the southpaw back to the bullpen for the 2012 campaign. While Duensing's splits indicate he is more effective versus left-handed hitters, misfortune also contributed to his switch back to reliever. He is probably going to be used as a long man in blowouts and a lefty specialist in close games, which may mean he occasionally takes one for the team, inflating his ratios. That said, if his BABIP corrects, Duensing will have some value in deep leagues as he should pitch enough innings to rack up a decent number of punchouts.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Wed Feb 15"},"playerRater30DAY":-0.7,"playerRater15DAY":-1,"positionRank":117}
