Around SBN: Jeremy Lin Continues Rampage, New York Wins On Road

Rauch traded to Arizona

Recently the Washington Nationals traded Jon Rauch to the Arizona Diamondbacks receiving mediocre prospect Emilio Bonifacio in exchange.  Emilio was give a C+ rating heading into the season by John Sickles and has had a good year at the age of 23, but this being in the PCL.  Meanwhile Jon Rauch over the last two seasons has been outstanding striking out 117 in 136 2/3 innings while only walking 28 posting WHIPs under 1.1.  

My question to you is, did the Twins miss the Rauch-train?  Do you think the Twins should have tried to acquire him if we would to have given up say Valencia, Hughes, or Plouffe?

I personally believe this was a great trade for Arizona giving up a future utility infielder for a very dependable arm in the bullpen.
