Bye Bye Pudge...
I made a trade late last night to bolster my minor leagues and build for the future. I sent Pudge packing to the Tri-State Titans - along with RP Todd Coffey - for Neil Walker, Ryan Sweeney, and a 3rd round pick.
Neil Walker is a 21-year-old slugging prospect for the Pirates. He was a 1st round pick in 2004 as a Catcher, but was moved to 3B full-time this season. He is currently flourishing for the AA Altoona Curves to the tune of a 925 OPS (313/379/546, 11 HR, 37 RBIs). He still struggles with defense, but I'm hoping that comes around.
Ryan Sweeney is one of the top prospects in the White Sox Organization. At age 22, Sweeney has already had a short stay in the big leagues. Currently, he's in AAA and playing for the Charlotte Knights. He has respectable 778 OPS so far this season.

This is kind of funny...I just e-mailed you to ask if you would write about this trade in your blog...I guess I should've checked here first! My team (the above-mentioned Tri-State Titans) has been pretty bad for a long time so I felt the need to try and help it now. I also used an override to acquire RP Eddie Guardado yesterday. I'm surprised the team who was attempting to send him down (Brooklyn?) didn't rescind that send-down. Hopefully, Eddie will be activated soon and be saving games again.
