The Fan 590 has announced a few roster moves. The short version is as follows:

Bobby Estalella moves from the 15 to the 60 day DL, freeing up a space on the 40 man roster.
Bob File sent to the minors, freeing up a space on the 25 man roster.
Kevin Frederick called up to the big club and added to both the 25 and 40 man roster.

Thanks to Smack, and Rob, and James W for the heads up.

So who is Kevin Frederick?

He's a 27 year old reliever drafted by the Twins in 1998. He's been excellent this year, putting up the following numbers:

AA: 21.1IP, 18G, 1.27ERA, 1HR, 5BB, 26K
AAA: 27.1IP, 20G, 0.99ERA, 2HR, 9BB, 26K

He won't be replacing anyone in the rotation, but he looks like he has the potential to be a valuable addition to the bullpen.

Your thoughts?
