Subject: Rodela, Vasquez Dealt for Beavers Sublet

The Michigan Motors addressed a concern today, coming to terms with the Oregon Beavers on a trade that will send 29-year-old reliever David Rodela, 24-year-old minor league starting pitcher Leonardo Vasquez and 21-year-old minor league starting pitcher Bobby Schweitzer from the Motors to the Beavers in exchange for 26-year-old second baseman Brandon Sublet and $500,000 in cash.

This year in 6 starts, Vasquez has recorded no wins and absorbed 6 losses. He has pitched 24.1 innings, allowed 39 hits, struck out 24 and has a 9.25 ERA. While young, he ha

David Rodela was the jewel of the trade for the Beavers, having gone 2-2 with 2 saves thus far this year, putting up a sparkling 1.08 ERA (ERA+ of 377), giving up only 17 baserunners (14 hits and 3 walks) in 33.1 IP while striking out 46.

"David was absolutely masterful for us, but we feel he deserves the chance to close in this league, and we are committed to Chris Kearns and wanted to be fair to both men.

Sublet is batting at a .274 pace this season, picking up 71 hits in 259 at-bats with 2 home runs, 22 RBIs and 35 runs scored.
