Twins, Alexi Casilla avoid arbitration

According to Phil Mackey, the Twins and Alexi Casilla have reached a one-year agreement worth $1.38 million.

Because of injuries, Casilla played in only 97 games last year and hit .260/.322/.368 with 15 stolen bases while scoring 52 runs. In doses he has proven that he is capable of holding down a starting position and it appears that he will be the team's starting second baseman at the beginning of the year.
