Latest News
| Oswaldo Arcia expected to start Friday |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(5/23/13) Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said he chose to keep outfielder Oswaldo Arcia out of the starting lineup for a fourth straight game Thursday at Detroit because he wanted to start players with good numbers against Rick Porcello. Gardenhire added he expects Arcia to be in the lineup Friday.
Arcia delivered a pinch-hit home run Wednesday against the Braves, but he is mired in a 3-for-26 slump (.115) in his last 10 games (seven starts).

| Oswaldo Arcia delivers pinch-hit home run |
by Michael Hurcomb | CBSSports.com
(5/22/13) Twins rookie outfielder Oswaldo Arcia delivered a pinch-hit, solo home run in the ninth inning of Wednesday's 8-3 loss to Atlanta. It was Arcia's fourth home run and first in 11 games.
Arcia, who didn't start once during the Atlanta series, is batting .115 (3 for 26) with one double, one home run and two RBI in his last 10 games (seven starts).

| Oswaldo Arcia stays hot at the plate |
by R.J. White | CBSSports.com
(5/11/13) Twins rookie right fielder Oswaldo Arcia continued his torrid stretch at the plate Friday, going 2 for 5 with one run and one RBI. It was Arcia's third straight multi-hit game and eighth straight game with at least one hit.
Arcia has gone 8 of 14 over his last three games to boost his batting average to .319 over 69 at-bats.

| Oswaldo Arcia surging up the rankings |
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer
(5/10/13) The Twins' promotion of outfield prospect Oswaldo Arcia to the majors in mid-April could have been a big deal in Fantasy, but two questions kept it from moving the needle: Will he get consistent at-bats, and will he survive the jump at age 22 after only 10 games at Triple-A?
Considering he has started 17 of the team's 20 games since arriving in the majors, the answer to the first question is a resounding "yes." He seems to have overtaken Chris Parmelee as the preferred option in right field. And with 16 hits in his last 11 games, he's doing his best to relieve all doubts about his major-league readiness.
Thursday's performance was the tipping point for me. Arcia had two hits, including his third homer, to bring his batting average up to .313 and his OPS up to .900. In parts of six minor-league seasons, he hit .316 with a .912. And he took to pretty much every level right away, much like he's doing now.
I've already moved him up to 68th in my outfield rankings, and he could rise from there. Given his upside, I'd make a play for him in any league where I was hurting for offense.

| Oswaldo Arcia's hit streak at seven games |
by Chris Towers | CBSSports.com
(5/9/13) Twins outfielder Oswaldo Arcia continued his strong run Thursday, leading the team to a series win over the Red Sox.
Arcia extended his hitting streak to seven games, and he did so via his first game with multiple extra-base hits. Arcia tripled and scored in the fifth inning, and then provided the winning margin with a two-run home run in the sixth inning, his third of the season. He went 2 for 4 with two RBI and two runs in a 5-3 win.
After a slow start, Arcia has gotten acclimated to the majors. He is batting .313 with a .900 on-base plus slugging percentage in 64 at bats. The 22-year-old has driven in 11 runs while scoring eight.

| A fringe prospect when he first began his professional career as a 17-year-old in 2008, Oswaldo Arcia has made considerable progress since then, adding bulk to his frame to become a one-man wrecking crew in the minors. Already established as a .300 hitter, his pop has translated to the upper levels of the minors, giving him legitimate middle-of-the-order potential. His batting eye is nothing special, but as well as he hits, he doesn't need an especially high walk rate. Because his rise up the prospect rankings has been so abrupt, you might be able to get Arcia for a reasonable price in long-term keeper leagues, so pay extra close attention to him there. A 2013 promotion isn't out of the question, but as patient as the Twins normally are with their top prospects, they would probably prefer to see him finish the year at Triple-A. Still, if you have room for Arcia in an AL-only league, he's a candidate to stash. (Updated 1/4/13) |
