Moya has made a strong impression with the Minnesota coaching staff this spring as he's retired 13 of the last 14 batters he's faced 1.80 ERA with 5 K in 5 IP). He's also learning a new slider to help against left-handed hitters, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Moya was acquired from Arizona last summer in a trade for catcher John Ryan Murphy. After a strong first half at Double-A with Arizona he duplicated his success in the Twins organization. He compiled an impressive 0.77 ERA and 87:12 K:BB through 58.1 innings between Double-A Chattanooga and Double-A Jackson. He then held his own in the majors in September with a 4.26 ERA and 7.1 K/9. While he tops out in the low 90s with his fastball, his delivery is deceptive. He's a long shot to make the bullpen that will already feature two lefties (Zach Duke and Taylor Rogers), but he could surprise.
