Twins' Ryan Pressly: Avoids arbitration with Twins

Pressly and the Twins avoided arbitration by signing a one-year, $1.175 million deal Friday, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN reports.

Analysis:

Pressly was leading the American league in appearances before the Twins decided to reduce his workload, so they would appear to consider him a valuable innings eater out of the bullpen. In total, he posted a 3.70 ERA in 75.1 innings while striking out 67.
