Wow, $500,000 is peanuts. It doesn't seem that long ago that he was winning gold gloves in Atlanta...

Kelsie Smith has a Q&A with Bill Smith regarding what the twins management is up to right now. Interesting enough little read, but unfortunately, not a lot of light is shed.

Duensing Up; Henn Down

I swear I'm not a twitter junkie (OK, maybe I am...), but this is from Kelly Thesier's twitter page (I think she tends to post news there before she writes the full articles):

kellythesier#Twins to recall LHP Brian Duensing from AAA Rochester. To make room, they've outrighted LHP Sean Hean to Roch.

Thoughts? I think this has to make our bullpen better in the short term, but a veteran solution via trade would suuuure be nice right now.

Bobby Keppel

It appears Bobby Keppel has been called up from AAA Rochester (reported via numerous newspapers, including the Star Tribune: http://www.startribune.com/sports/twins/48782142.html?elr=KArksi8cyaiUqCP:iUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aULPQL7PQLanchO7DiUr). I am pretty unfamiliar with Keppel and/or what this means for the Twins current bullpen. Thoughts/concerns/complaints/elations? I'm sure we'll know soon enough what the impact is, but it's a slow Monday at work, so who wants to talk it out?
