He got his first cup of coffee in the majors this year, and went for 3/22. He was initially drafted in 2007, the final year before John Barr took over. He is the third member of that draft class to be traded, as Tim Alderson and Daniel Turpen were traded in 2009 and 2010, respectively. Like Culberson, Alderson was traded for a middle infielder in the final year of his contract (though Freddy Sanchez had a clup option), while Turpen was traded for Ramon Ramirez. After being drafted, Culberson hit .286/.374/.416 in the ...

By DAVE CAMPBELL AP Sports Writer The Minnesota Twins obviously haven't let a 99-loss season push them toward rebuilding mode.
