He was solid in his first year, and the second was a total loss.

There are certainly some locks when it comes to the starting rotation. Jose Berrios, Kyle Gibson, and Jake Odorizzi are all but guaranteed a s...7466Tue, 22 Jan 2019 03:00:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/prospect-spotlight-series-bullpen-help-r7467/Before we get into it, here’s a look back at the players I’ve covered in this series so far: Jhoan Duran Alex Kirilloff Lewis Thorpe Royce Lewis Each of the previous installments of this series focuses on a specific aspect of a player's game or homes in on a particular performance.

Cron, Jonathan Schoop, Blake Parker and (to a lesser extent) Martin Perez are all logical, savvy additions. But you can't make the case that these players were in any kind of demand. Each was optionally let loose by his former team, and all those teams are looking to c...7465Mon, 21 Jan 2019 02:01:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/episode-408-perez-and-payroll-r7464/http://traffic.libsyn.com/gleemangeek/Ep_408_final.mp37464Sun, 20 Jan 2019 16:30:00 +0000https://twinsdaily.com/news-rumors/minnesota-twins/twins-sign-left-handed-pitcher-martin-perez-r7462/In 15 starts last season, Perez had a 6.78 ERA and .186 WHIP over 74 1/3 innings. He was much more successful after he was moved to the bullpen, pitching to a 2.45 ERA and 1.27 WHIP, though that was just a sample of 11 innings.
