Minnesota Twins general manager Bill Smith would like to add experience to his bullpen at the trading deadline but he realizes it will be hard. "There are about 20 clubs looking for bullpen help. We're in contention; we're right where we want to be. We dug ourselves a big hole in the first two months of the season, we climbed out quite a ways in the middle two months of the season, and now we're heading into the final two months of the season and we've got a lot of work to do," Smith said.
