Surprise/Redlake Blockbuster
(Preview)
Okay, so I'm indulging in a bit of hyperbole here. Anyway, Surprise sends the recently acquired Jordan Pacheco and catching prospect Pedro Severino to Redlake in exchange for veteran OF Chris Denorfia. For now, he's cast in the critical role of 5th OF behind McCutchen, Marte, Gonzalez, and Grich...

(Preview)
With the recent addition of Adam Jones, DBX now has excessive outfielders. Michael Bourne or Austin Jackson needs to find a new home. Would package minors with one of them for an upgrade.

Shiner Post-CFA Shopping
(Preview)
According to the old adage, you can never have too much pitching. However, Shiner's roster is rather crowded right now with 15 of them. In particular, I would like to clear out one or more of these youngish pitchers retained on no-bid C contracts. 1) Matt Barnes (Bos, RH, 2 GS, 47 AIP) 2) Felix Doubro...
