GERRY ARRIGO

Left-hander Gerry Arrigo made his major league debut for the 1961 Minnesota Twins.  He also hd briefs call-ups to the Twins in 1962 and 1963.  He broke through in 1964 as a solid swingman.  He started 12 of his 41 games that season, going 7-4 with a 3.84 ERA and 8.2 strikeouts per nine innings.  That promise allowed the Twins to trade him to Cincinnati following the 1964 season for Cesar Tovar, the super utility man who would become such a valuable part of the Twins' great teams of the late '60s.
