The great unknown in New Orleans is when someone is going to come calling with a trade offer, but our minor league system doesn't have a lot of talent currently. Our young talent was further depleted after making a mistake. So despite starting the season better than expected with a 22-21 record I wanted to bring some young talent to the team and was willing to trade perhaps our most valuable commodity, SP Alex Terry. The 27 year old Terry (7-1, 1.53), 29 year old Cesar Flores (2-4, 5.54 ERA), and 25 year old first baseman Dave Gill (.295, 5 HR, 15 RBI) were traded to the Baltimore Orioles.

Coming back to New Orleans was 22 year old SP George Campbell (13th ranked prospect), 22 year old SP Barrett Lawrence (#51 prospect), 22 year old SP Jose Suarez (#21 prospect), and 22 year old LF Mike Conklin

Former prospect Brayden Dunshea was only with the team for about three weeks, but we lost Dunshea to the Marlins after accidentally waiving and designating for assignment. He was claimed by the Marlins. We also lost 33 year old third baseman Russell Gonzalez to the Royals, although that wasn't a big loss.
