Esmerling Vasquez News

Esmerling Vasquez is the Twins' 26th man. Earlier this week, the team added him to the lengthy list of non-roster invitees when he cleared waivers and made room for outfielder Darin Mastroianni .

Mastroianni is too old to be a prospect and lacks the skill set to have big upside, but he's potentially a useful role player and could be a solid fit on the Twins' roster as a right-handed hitter with speed and on-base skills who can play all three outfield spots.

Last week the Twins claimed outfielder Darin Mastroianni from the Blue Jays. The 26 year old right-handed hitter immediately fills the void left by Nick Punto in the "guy with an Italian-sounding last name" department.
