7. Liam Hendriks
7 2/3 IP, 5.87 ERA, 0.78 WHIP, 8/0 K/BB. His last start was a rough one and it will be very interesting to see if his success has been overhyped. K/BB rate is not overhyped, though. 22.
8. Joe Benson
.385/.442/.615. A strong start with one homer and a 7/4 K/BB ratio. The strikeout numbers are going to be the big thing to watch this year. 3 steals already. 23.
11. David Bromberg
10 IP, 2.70 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, 1/2 K/BB. Given up some hits, but they haven't hurt him too much. Will need to strike more people out. Will end the season at AAA. 23 1/2.
14. Chris Parmelee
.357/.372/.548. It is crucial that Parmelee continue his development. Last year his power numbers dropped, but his average went up significantly. Let's see if he can get it together this year. One homer so far. 23.
33. Steve Singleton
.257/.297/.429. The biggest victim of the Twins strange behavior with their middle infielders. Has no business not being at Rochester, and should be in consideration for the Twins this season if this middle infield situation keeps getting worse. Will turn 26 this year.
39. Deolis Guerra
10 IP, 1.80 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 7/2 K/BB. Pleasant surprise to see him doing well early. Has fallen the past two years. Turned 22 (only!) on Sunday. Will end at AAA.
40. Bobby Lanigan
11 1/3 IP, 1.59 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 7/3 K/BB. Could jump a number of other pitchers above him this year. Soon turning 24.
42. Evan Bigley
.242/.265/.273. Rough start and a forgotten man in the deep Twins OF. Just turned 24.
44. Brett Jacobson
5 IP, 9.00 ERA, 1.60 WHIP, 5/3 K/BB. First appearance was very good and the next two were bad. 24 1/2.
Others doing very well early:
Batters: Yangervis Solarte (almost made my list), Danny Lehmann, Mark Dolenc (should have known), and Ray Chang.
Pitchers: Steve Hirschfeld, Cole DeVries, and Jake Stevens.
