FORT MYERS, FLA. – Jhoan Duran is 6-5 and 230 pounds. He's handsome and broad-shouldered. He looks like he should have a baseball in his hand.
And, when he does, just wait until the righthander throws it.
His fastball frequently registers 100 miles per hour and he has a potentially devastating complementary pitch. It seemed inevitable that his talents allow him to thrive in the major leagues. And that time is expected to come Thursday when he makes the Twins Opening Day roster as a reliever. Over the weekend, Duran was told he had made the team.
