Quote:Former University of Houston shortstop/relief pitcher Jesse Crain was recently called up to the Major Leagues and joined the Minnesota Twins on Sunday.
Quote:Crain became the 17th player in school history to reach the Major Leagues. In addition, he joined Ryan Wagner (Cincinnati Reds), Shane Nance (Arizona Diamondbacks), Woody Williams (St. Louis Cardinals) and Ben Weber (Anaheim Angels) as current Cougars on a Major League 40-man roster.
Quote:"We've been looking for a way to get him up here," Twins general manager Terry Ryan said in a story on MLB.com. "He's ready so we'll bring him in."
"It's very important getting another power arm up here for our bullpen," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said in the same story on MLB.com. "That's what Crain is."
Congratulations Jesse. Way to go. Good luck with the Twins.
