2012
Even though he struggled at Triple-A last season, Diamond was called up to the majors and had seven starts late in the season when the Minnesota rotation was ravaged with injuries. Even though he has mediocre velocity, he'd been quietly productive in Atlanta's organization, with strong groundball rates (1.77 GB/FB rate in 2010). The Twins acquired him in a trade and he began the season in the Triple-A Rochester rotation, but he had a 5.56 ERA with a lackluster 6.59 K/9IP. He did have good control and a 1.31 GB/FB. He predictably struggled in the majors, with a 5.08 ERA and poor 19:17 K:BB ratio in 39 innings. He'll enter spring training with a shot to win a job in the bullpen, but he more likely adds depth at Triple-A all season. If he gets a chance, there's little in his skill set to entice fantasy owners.
2011
Diamond hasn't had a high profile because he has mediocre velocity, but he's been quietly productive with strong ground-ball rates (1.77 GO/AO rate in 2010). A Rule 5 pick from Atlanta, the Twins later acquired his rights in a trade and he'll begin the season at Triple-A. He could be a factor in middle relief in the majors this summer.
