FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Jose Berrios is in a win-win situation when it comes to his spot in the Twins' rotation for the regular season.
On one hand, he has seemingly earned the right to take the mound for the Twins on Opening Day. With staff anchor Ervin Santana (finger surgery) unavailable, Berrios is a logical choice. At just 23 years old, Berrios could become the youngest Twins pitcher to get an Opening Day nod since Brad Radke in 2006.
"Every starting pitcher wants to be there as the first pitcher," Berrios said.
