The Orioles have traded for LHP Sean Henn from the Minnesota Twins for a player to be named later, and also transferred OF Adam Jones to the 60 day DL to make room on the 40 man roster for Henn.

Grade: C

Throw another arm into the crowded bullpen, why not. Henn is a player that has excelled in the minor leagues, but has done nothing but struggle at the major league level. In AAA Rochester this year he pitched to a 2.33 ERA over 38.2 innings with 45 strikeouts and 16 walks. But for the Twins he pitched 11.1 innings with a 7.15 ERA. He had 9 strikeouts and 8 walks. Lets see what he can do for us. If we like what we see, we keep him as a lefty in the bullpen next year. If not, we can designate him for assignment.
