There are probably more than ten guys who have a chance at being in the Twins’ Opening Day rotation. However, after writing short profiles of the first ten, I lost the will to live.

Four of these guys had surgery to remove bone chips from their elbows in the off-season. Two are returning from Tommy John surgery. Another is the most injury-prone pitcher ever and hasn’t thrown a pitch in a baseball game since 2011.

You could be forgiven for assuming the Twins will lose 120 games, with the starting rotation they’ll trot out this year. And now that I’ve typed that, they’ll probably win 105.
