In perusing recent Bees box scores to see how Trout is doing, I noticed that Kevin Johnson (who pitched well in relief in Spring Training) was recently promoted from Arkansas. I don't know if this was a temporary thing due to injuries or as a result of Carpenter's promotion to the big club, but he'd appear to be another bullpen candidate if Isringhausen, Takahashi & Jepsen don't turn things around quickly.
