\n\tIt\u2019s early, but the Twins\u2019 bullpen roles are already starting to take shape \u2014 and the usage of Kody Funderburk<\/a>, Justin Topa<\/a>, Anthony Banda<\/a>, Taylor Rogers<\/a>, Cole Sands<\/a>, and Eric Orze<\/a> tells a pretty interesting story. From Topa\u2019s late-inning work to Sands locking down the only save so far, some clear trends are emerging. The question is: are these roles here to stay, or just a product of a small sample size?\n<\/p>\n
