Rauch too!

This is a solid trade especially because it lands the Twins a reliever who can help them out next year. Rauch has been solid - not great - but solid is what this team needs now and in the future. If the Twins are going to actually be a factor, then they need to have a strong bullpen and cannot have a surplus of average to below average pitchers in their bullpen. Finally, it's taken more than an entire year, but Bill Smith actually acquired a bullpen arm that the Twins can use in late innings to help out Guerrier and Mijares.
