Twins fill out 40-man roster
11/18/2005
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins added six players to their 40-man roster Friday.
The additions of right-handed pitchers Adam Harben and Pat Neshek, left-handed pitchers Justin Jones, Jose Mijares and Errol Simonitsch and outfielder Alex Romero put Minnesota at its roster limit.
Friday was the deadline to protect players from exposure to other clubs in next month's Rule 5 Draft. Minor League players out of high school four years, or three years out of college, and not on 40-man rosters are eligible for that draft.
The 22-year-old Harben, a 15th-round pick in the 2002 First-Year Player Draft, went 10-5 with a 2.66 ERA and notched 119 strikeouts in 25 starts this season for Class A Fort Myers.
Neshek, 25, was drafted by the Twins in the sixth round of the 2002 First-Year Player Draft out of Butler University. The Brooklyn Park, Minn., native was 6-4 with a 2.19 ERA and 24 saves with Double-A New Britain.
Jones was the player acquired from the Cubs in the July 31, 2004, three-way deal that sent Doug Mientkiewicz to the Red Sox. The 21-year-old was 7-3 with a 3.01 ERA in 13 starts for Fort Myers last season.
Mijares was signed as a non-drafted free agent in 2002 out of the Twins' Venezuelan academy. He began the season at low Class A Beloit, going 6-3 with a 4.31 ERA and two saves in 20 appearances that included six starts. After an August promotion to Fort Myers, the 21-year-old was 0-0 with a 1.50 ERA in five games, including one start.
The 23-year-old Simonitsch was a sixth-round pick in the 2003 First-Year Player Draft out of Gonzaga University. After going 8-3 with a 2.69 ERA in 14 games at Fort Myers, he was promoted to the New Britain rotation on June 23 and went 6-5 with a 4.12 ERA in 14 starts. Simonitsch's 14 combined wins led all Twins' Minor Leaguers.
Signed out of the Twins' Venezuelan academy in 2000, Romero batted .301 with 15 home runs and 77 RBIs in 139 games for New Britain this year. The 22-year-old was second in the Eastern League in hits and sixth in batting, and was named to the Eastern League Postseason All-Star team.
