The Twins' pitching rotation has been, ah, unsettled for a while. We were curious: how many different starters have they used since everything went to [redacted] at the beginning of 2011?

Turns out Tommy Milone, who is slated to start tonight in Houston, will be the 27th different starting pitcher used by the Twins from 2011-14.

Twenty-seven.

Sounds like a random big number you would throw out if you were trying to be mean. But it's the real number.

Here are the other 26 aside from Milone, in order of the number of starts they have made. Honestly, we had forgotten at least a few of these guys:

Scott Diamond 58

Kevin Correia 54

Nick Blackburn 45
