Fantasy Analysis
After years of struggling as a starter, Perkins seems to have finally found his niche as a reliever. He went 4-4 with a 2.48 ERA in 65 relief appearances in 2011. He also was 2 for 5 in save situations. The Twins do have a vacancy at closer, but Perkins isn't expected to vie for that role. He will likely be a setup man to Matt Capps. Perkins could get a few save chances in 2012, but he will mostly be a low-end Fantasy RP in leagues that reward heavily for holds. (Updated 01/17/2012).
