Cano is an MLB-ready reliever and Povich was one of the top starters in the lower levels of the Twins' farm system, but Rojas and Nunez are rookie-level arms who can be viewed as lottery tickets. Rojas, an 18-year-old lefty from Venezuela, has turned in a 3.60 ERA and 0.90 WHIP over 30 innings in the Florida Complex League this season.
