Twins Claim Darin Mastroianni

By Ben Nicholson-Smith | February 9, 2012 at 1:50pm CDT

The Twins announced that they claimed Darin Mastroianni from the Blue Jays, Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com tweets. The Blue Jays designated the outfielder for assignment last week to create roster space for Francisco Cordero.

Mastroianni made his MLB debut with the 2011 Blue Jays after spending most of the season at Double-A and Triple-A. The 26-year-old posted a .268/.353/.377 line with 34 stolen bases (44 attempts) in the upper minors last year. He has minor league experience at all three outfield positions and has mostly played center field.

    Actually – this guy is pretty good – and cheap too.

    All Star at High A and AA – so so year last year – but has alot of skills – real fast – solid defender in OF and can play 2B – real good OBA and eye. Interesting pickup that costs virtually nothing.

      He hasn’t played 2B since he played a half-season there in Low-A five years ago. I don’t think anyone would count on him as a second base option now.

      Yeah, I think the Jays taking Jim Hoey is bad enough. No need for payback there.

        LOL…I picked up on the double meaning as soon as clicked the Post button.  Was tempted to make a second comment…”Payback for Twins giving Jim Hoey to Jays”

    How is his arm? Is it at least decent or are we looking at another Ben Revere?

    I think Mastro had the most outfield assists in the Jays system over the last 3 years.

    (Oddly enough – he tied some sort of 70 year old record a few years ago when he had 4 outfield assists in a 9 inning game.) He most definitely will throw you out.

    This guy sucks. Also, Ben Revere sucks. 

    You cant steal first base.

      Agreed Ben Revere has the worst arm i have EVER seen in the major leagues.  He’s so bad its comical.  The guy couldn’t hit a wiffle ball homerun if his life depended on it.  He makes Jason Tyner look like a perennial all-star.   Revere is that bad!

    How many fringe acquisitions does this make for the Twins now this offseason? Playing all Spring Training in split squads isn’t going to cut it for the Twinkies to see what they have in these players. I guess if their AA bench ends up having to start in Target Field by August again they might need every last one.
