SEATTLE -- Interim Twins pitching coach Eric Rasmussen still is evaluating his new role, but a quarter century of organizational familiarity makes the transition a bit smoother.
"I know most of these guys," said Rasmussen, who had been the Twins minor league pitching coordinator. "A lot of these guys came through our system. And, I'm familiar with the guys from spring training. It's basically to get to know the guys I don't know so well, and then what can I do to help you and go from there."
Rasmussen joined the Twins on Friday after pitching coach Neil Allen was suspended following his arrest early Thursday on suspicion of drunken driving.
