Article: Trade Candidate: Brian Duensing

[Otto von Ballpark]

I am guessing the Twins are done trading players to the Pirates, forever.

I know you are joking -- but I'm not sure I get it (or you are mis-remembering things).  Morneau is the only Twin I can recall who was dealt to the Pirates, and he didn't do anything for them.  Worley was sold.  Liriano signed there as a free agent.

The Pirates have two players that could be traded for Brian Duensing (just one would probably be dealt for Duensing) like Jose Tabata and Tony Sanchez. Tabata is definitely starter material and is very underrated in the pirates organization (only seen as a 4th outfielder) also he is only 26. Tony Sanchez is also a good player to have especially next year because we might not have Suzuki and will be left with only option starter and defensively troubled Pinto. Sanchez is also 26 and has fared well in the majors in his short stint with the Pirates at the beginning of the season. One of them could help the Twins this year, next year, and years to come.

Tabata is barely above the mendoza line in Indianapolis.  He might be stop gap, but for what it's worth, Alex Pressley outperformed him in the same envioronment
