Really? I like Crain, but it certainly seems as though disaster follows him like the dust cloud around Pigpen. I'm most surprised by Crain on that list. Really?

Rauch looks like he should be as effective as Guerrier and Mijares, so I'm pleased with that. Hopefully, even a perceived improvement in the bullpen will keep Gardy from letting the starters stay out there too long. With a 12-man bullpen, there's no reason not to have a quick hook on this wreck of a starting staff. The worst in-season move the Twins have made this year so far is releasing Breslow. I didn't like it at the time and it looks worse now. The Twins needed to give Rick Anderson more time to straighten out Breslow's control problems, which was unusual for him.
