Locks

Casey Fien, RHP: Has made 146 appearances over past two seasons.
Brian Duensing, LHP: ERA has dropped in each of the past three seasons.
Tim Stauffer, RHP: Will get a look as starter, but more effective out of bullpen.
In the running
Caleb Thielbar, LHP: Opponents hit .280 off him last season after .154 in 2013.
Ryan Pressly, RHP: Late cut from camp last year, impressed when promoted in July.
Michael Tonkin, RHP: Has the stuff to dominate, needs to put it together.
J.R. Graham, RHP: Twins have kept a Rule 5 pick before (see Pressly, Ryan).
