February 24, 1909

It is almost time for spring training, and the trade winds are brewing. There were four trades today.

Buffalo receives 26-year old catcher Chris Herron from Pittsburgh. Herron hit just .193 as a part-timer for the Industrialists last year. He is below average defensively, so this isn't much of a pick-up for the Freedom.

Pittsburgh receives RHP Emilio Lopez. A reliever, Lopez pitched 5.2 scoreless innings for Pittsburgh last year, but only had a 4.74 ERA for AAA Rochester. At 31-years old, he is a non-entity. This trade was a dud.

New Orleans receives 27 year old 1B Graham Hill from Detroit. Hill hit .238 in 116 games for the Electric last year. He isn't very good.

In exchange for Hill, Detroit receives 37-year old LHP Steve Terrell. An All-Star in 1906 and 1907, Terrell had 16 wins and a league worst 23 losses in 1908 for New Orleans. Detroit is hoping that Terrell has enough left in his arm to have a bounce back season in 1909.

The Brooklyn Red Legged Devils receive 33-year old right-handed reliever Chad Swire, who was 3-1 with a 2.75 ERA in relief for Minneapolis last year.

The Lumberjacks receive 27-year old first-baseman Josh Rochelle. Rochelle hit .333 in 9 games after hitting .302 at AAA Syracuse last year. Both Rochelle and Swire could help their teams in 1909.

Cleveland receives 29 year old left fielder David Logan, who hit .400 as a part-timer for New York last year. It will be interesting to see what he can do playing full-time. His .400 average was over 50 games played.

New York will receive right-handed 27-year old reliever Pat Cortez, who last played big league baseball in 1907, when he had a 4.71 ERA for Cleveland. My scouts thing that he has really good stuff, but he also has no control. He will need to find some if he is going to help New York.
