The Twins promoted RHP Danny Graves - yes, that one - from New Britain to Rochester. Graves was out of organized ball in 2007, pitching for Long Island in the Atlantic League, and Minnesota signed him to a minor league deal this spring. He pitched in four games for Fort Myers and seven for the Rock Cats before moving up to AAA.

Minnesota also activated LHP Errol Simonitsch from the DL at New Britain. Simonitsch was derailed by a shoulder injury a year ago, pitching only 46 innings, and spent the first month of this season rehabbing in extended spring before making a rehab appearance for Fort Myers.

No transactions of interest.

What, trading for Gookie Dawkins and signing Ray King aren't interesting?

Third baseman Josh Fields was placed on the DL with tendonitis, I believe.

This thread was up before Chicago acquired Gookie. I posted that tranny in the NL East thread.

Wiash I knew that Graves was around. I saw New Britain last nite. Anthony Swarzack struck out 10, but only lasted 5 and 2/3rds.
