Morillo Added To 40-Man Roster

Joe Christensen (Star Tribune) reported some Twins’ news at the GM Meetings Monday.

Here are the updates:

- The Baltimore Orioles claimed pitcher Armando Gabino on waivers.

- The team selected the contract of pitcher Juan Morillo, putting him back on their 40-man roster.  (Looks like he won’t be headed to Japan, afterall)

- First baseman Justin Huber cleared waivers and was outrighted to AAA Rochester.  Huber could technically opt for free-agency.

The Morillo move is the most interesting news bit to us.  Morillo is a hard-throwing righthander that was claimed off waivers from the Rockies, and posted a 22.50 ERA in three appearances for the Twins.  He did improve at Rochester, going 6-6 with a 3.90 ERA in 46 games for Rochester, notching 87 strikeouts in 67 innings.

The scary stat about Morillo at Rochester: 51 walks in 67 innings.
