Wilkin Ramirez, age 26, hit .247/.308/.423 in 1,094 PA over 4 seasons at AAA with the Detroit and Atlanta organizations, hasn’t appeared in the majors.

Matt Carson, age 30 (turns 31 on July 1), hit .280/.343/.515 in 1,603 PA over 4 seasons in AAA with the Yankees, A’s, and Rays organizations, hasn’t appeared in the majors.

None of them are likely ever to play in Minnesota, but now all of them can at least tell their kids and grandkids that they played with Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau! :)
