uroxatral The Twins’ rotation was the worst in the majors in 2013 by several measures. It was last by a lot in collective ERA, posting a 5.26 rotation ERA that was 45 points worse than runner-up Toronto, a gap that widens even further when you consider the home ballparks of those respective teams. The Twins were also last in the majors in quality starts (62) and innings pitched by their rotation (871 or 5.4 per game). Nolasco isn’t an ace by any league-wide definition, but as a pitcher who over the last six seasons has averaged 192 innings (more than any Twin since Carl Pavano in 2011) and 17 quality starts (tying 2013 Twins leader Kevin Correia’s total), he should serve as an anchor of reliability for a Twins rotation that is otherwise adrift.
