Twins get Rauch from the DB's

[henks]

Twins picked up MR Rauch from Arizona for a PTBNL.

Humber gets sent down to AAA to make space on the roster for him.

Thoughts?

Gabino is going back to Rochester and the Twins signed Ron Mahay also. Looks like Duensing is going to stay in the rotation.
I'm pleased with this turn of events. The Twins have needed bullpen help all season and these guys (specifically Rauch) should be a big help (no pun intended). Rauch has pitched in the AL Central and is probably just happy to get out of Phoenix. He didn't seem to fit in well there.
This should take some of the pressure off Guerrier and Mijares, and off Nathan. It could shorten the games quite a bit for the starters as well, keeping them fresher going into the stretch.
Rauch has agreed to change numbers when he gets to the Dome. He wore #57 for the D'Backs and will be wearing #60 for the Twins out of respect for Johan.
