However, Abel and Bradley ended up struggling significantly against the worst team in the American League. Chicago White Sox dominated against newly acquired Twins starting pitchers, Mick Abel and Taj Bradley, last weekend at Rate Field in ChicagoUpon trading for Abel and Bradley, the Twins decided to start both pitchers in Triple-A so that they could work on refining certain aspects of their pitching. Not a great outing for the new Twins pitcher, who had a 5.04 ERA in six starts with Philadelphia this season. Although Abel had a rough outing, Twins fans were at least still looking forward to seeing Bradley's debut with his new team. Before his disastrous Twins debut, Bradley, 24, had a poor 7.53 ERA with 18 strikeouts in three outings for the St. Paul Saints.
