Twins Designate Aaron Slegers For Assignment

The Twins announced Thursday that they’ve designated right-hander Aaron Slegersfor assignment in order to open a spot on the roster for newly signed designated hitter Nelson Cruz.

Slegers, a towering righty, stands at 6’10” and has pitched 29 innings for the Twins across the past two seasons but struggled to a 5.90 ERA in that time. Although Slegers hasn’t had much experience at the MLB level, he’s had quite a bit of success in Triple-A, where he’s pitched to a 3.54 ERA in 233 2/3 innings with 6.8 K/9, 1.8 BB/9 and average or better ground-ball tendencies. As a starting pitcher who has had some success in the upper minors and has a pair of minor league options remaining, Slegers could hold some appeal to clubs in need of some depth and options at the back of the rotation. If he clears waivers, he’ll presumably head the Twins’ top affiliate on an outright assignment.

Doesn’t walk enough guys.  Pass.

I wonder if this guy could be a special doug white project.  Dude is 6'10 and only throws in the low 90's

It's like you don't even know Billy. Wait, are you that guy that gives everyone a $10 gift card to Walmart for Christmas? Because I get those and while I'm grateful, I realize these things don't take a ton of thought.

Yeah but his release is like a foot closer to home plate so that 90mph fastball probably looks like 95 haha

Billy just re-signed former Twins prospect 6'9 Alex Meyer.  Not clean, though, as he gots the shoulder injury.
