  1. Berrios now has allowed 3 R in his last 4 starts with a 32/10 K/BB ratio in 24 1/3 innings and no HRs allowed. I'm wondering if he'll be one of the players promoted up a level in June, which is when the Twins usually do their midseason promotions.

    1. Hard to say. I'd like to see it, but the Twins aren't normally very aggressive about promoting guys that young. They may make an exception in his case, though.
