Ponson's Contract Purchased

It wasn't exactly the most surprising move of the spring, but the Twins have now officially purchased the contract of Sidney Ponson, which adds him to the 40-man roster. That puts the roster at 39 players (40 are listed, but Francisco Liriano is on the 60-day DL and so doesn't count against the roster limit). If the Twins find they need roster space anytime soon, they could also easily free up a space by placing Alejandro Machado on the 60-day DL since he's going to be out until mid- to late-August anyway (in the best case scenario).
