Thoughts...
By the Reds acquiring Eddie Guardado I think they have created a chance for themselves. They were in dire need of bullpen help...
The pickup of Aubrey Huff by the Astros is a big move that can propel a team struggling for run support like the Astros are into the playoff picture...
David Bell will pick up the slack at the hot corner for the Brewers and will sub for Corey Koskie who is on the D.L...
In my opinion the Rangers got beat when it comes to their deal for Carlos Lee...
Throughout the day I will be providing in depth looks at all these trades one by one. Tune back in for all that and any other deals that are in the works... |
