Brooklyn acquires Xavier Paul for the grossly overpaid Carter Capps.

Yes, with SHI expected to field a much less competitive team this year, they need to find other ways to bring in the fans.  Capps will serve up many free HR baseballs and who doesn't love that?

Even with the departure of Mr. Paul, SHI still has a rather crowded trade block:

1) JA Happ - LHP, 18 GS, 102 IP, better card than 4.56 ERA suggests

2) Steve Lombardozzi - 2B/3B/LF, 338 APA, young and now a Tiger (where's Warren?), didn't hit much, but tries hard

3) Carlos Corporan - C/1B, 231 APA, you could do worse for a cheap backup C

4) Kelly Shoppach - C, unlimited PA, surprisingly decent bat for unlimited scum

5) Reid Brignac - SS/3B/2B/LF, unlimited PA, very good D at SS (2e12), weak bat, can hide in minors if necessary

Plenty of other guys (Cabrera, Grimm, Pettibone, etc.) are certainly available for the right price, but I'll stop there for now.  SHI is looking for young players and reclamation projects (particularly SS/3B types), but would settle for cash.  #3-5 were $40K FA, so they can be had very cheaply.
