FORT MYERS, Fla. -- There has been a great deal of talk about how the competition in the back end of the Minnesota Twins' rotation will pan out.
Two of the names that are often overlooked in that discussion, Adalberto Mejia and Nick Tepesch, have been quietly putting together the best springs of any the pitchers in contention. After Wednesday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals, they were were Nos. 2 and 3 in ERA among potential starters (0.87 and 1.29 respectively) behind staff ace Ervin Santana, who has yet to allow a run this spring.
