Trade #1
I made one pre-arbitration filing trade, sending AA SP John Davis (10-6, 2.39 ERA) to Houston for LR Frank DiPino (3-2, 1.93). DiPino has this year and 1987 under arbitration until free agency.
DiPino pitched in 82 games last year, mostly as a lefty specialist. He struck out 34 in 37.1 innings, gave up 25 hits and 1 home run.
While I'll deploy him with the intent on facing mostly lefties, I won't limit him against right-handers.
Except for a month or so with Bob McClure, I only really had the one lefty in the pen. Al Holland. He keeps his role as setting up for Quisenberry.
