Our farm system may be thin, but we did rank 6th overall with solid showings by Russell Fraser and Melvin Page. We also finished with the best record in the AL West with a 17-13 record in Spring Training.

In order to get our roster down to the limit the Gators made a trade, sending 1B Mike Brown, SP Fernando Rosas, RF Lee Goodman, and a pair of low level minor leaguers - 1B Lucio Castillo and SS Gabriel Correa to the Washington Nationals for a quartet of arms.

Coming back to New Orleans was 23 year old Duane Smith (#78 ranked prospect), Hilarious 'Clodhopper' Windischgraetz (#13 prospect), Juan Martinez, and Felipe Pereira.

It's both a trade I like and worry about. If we can keep Duane Smith and 'Clodhopper' I'll be happy, even though Rosas was a solid pitcher. It does get us under budget though.
