Left-hander William Peter Filson played for the Twins from 1982-1986. He was born in Darby, Pennsylvania, attended Temple University, and was drafted by the Yankees in the ninth round in 1979. He pitched very well in the low minors, going 17-3 with a 1.89 ERA in a 1981 season split between Class A Fort Lauderdale and AA Nashville. In May of 1982, Filson was traded to the Twins with Larry Milbourne and John Pacella for Roger Erickson and Butch Wynegar. Filson was immediately placed in the Twins’ starting rotation, but after getting knocked around a few times was first sent to the bullpen and then to AAA Toledo. He had a mediocre year in Toledo. We’re talking about the early ’80s Twins, however, when having a mediocre year in AAA was good enough to get you on the big club. Sure enough, in 1983, Filson was on the big club. He stayed there the next three years, and actually pitched fairly well. He had ERAs from 3.4 to 4.1, and WHIPs consistenly around 1.3. Filson was used mostly in relief in those years, making an occasional spot start. In 1986, however, he got off to a poor start and spent most of the year in AAA. In September, he was traded to the White Sox for Kurt Walker, and was sent to the Yankees the following January. Filson had a fine 1987 at AAA Columbus, and finished the year with the Yankees, doing well in seven appearances. Unfortunately, he tore his rotator cuff, and missed all of 1988. Filson became a free agent after the season, and signed at the end of May, 1989 with Kansas City. He had a very good year with AAA Omaha in 1990, and made it back to the big leagues for a month and a half after a two-and-a-half year absence. He did not pitch well for the Royals, however. Filson was released after the 1990 season, and his career came to an end. He became a coach after his playing days, and has served as the pitching coach of the North Shore Spirit and the Newark Bears. As a Twin, Pete Filson pitched 323 innings in 130 games, 24 of them starts. He was 14-13 with an ERA of 3.98 and a WHIP of 1.36. He is currently an instructor at AFC Baseball, which is part of AFC Fitness of Bala Cynwyd, Pennsylvania.
Oufielder Eddie Manuel Rosario made his major league debut in 2015. Born and raised in Guayama, Puerto Rico, he was drafted by Minnesota in the fourth round in 2010. He hit well throughout the low minors but did not do as well when he reached AA in 2013. He had a poor year in AA in 2014, although he was still only 22. He hit very well in the Arizona Fall League after that season, though, and started 2015 in AAA. He didn't have a particularly strong April there, but was still called up to the majors in early May and stayed the rest of the season. He hit well early on but has struggled some in the last couple of month of the season, although his power numbers have been good in September. He rarely walks, so he has to hit if he's going to be successful. So far has, hitting double digits in doubles, triples and homers while leading the league in triples. He has also shown a good arm in the outfield. It's too early to tell what kind of career he'll have, but Eddie Rosario will almost certainly be in the Twins starting outfield in 2016.
