Anthony Slama

Slama continues to put up strong numbers in the minors but just hasn't received much faith from the Twins as he was frequently passed over for other pitchers when spots opened up in the majors. When he finally got called up in July, he struggled by giving up four runs in 4.2 innings with a 5:5 K:BB ratio. While he had great control in the low minors, he had just a 74:32 K:BB ratio and struggled against lefties, so he'll need to improve in those areas. Still, Slama could be an impact reliever for the Twins, even though he is 27 this season, given his success in the minors and outstanding strikeout rates (10.2 K/9IP last season at Triple-A).
