Well after the dust settled, the dust got kicked back up a little. This time reserve IF Erich Weiss was waived and plans to release him are in the works after he clears. We kept Ryon Healy on the major league club - now backup at 1B and PH.

OF Jason Martin who was playing in AA, was reviewed and determined to be our most productive player in the organization (by WAR), so he was signed and brought up to the club.

Then it was Melky's turn - he is pretty obviously NOT going to sign with us this offseason, so I shopped him around and guess who came calling? Washington Nationals GM Mike Rizzo, We scoured his organization and came up with 1B Jake Noll - who incidentally comes from my town Punta Gorda FL (near enough!).

So that was easy and painless trade, now that opens up one last position for an OF... Who? We looked and one of our first trades completed this year kept coming up in talk... Monte Harrison - great foot and stealing speed, good defender at RF & CF, 38/41 contact but 67/70 power which we are definitely lacking.

Ok enough jabber lets look ahead to next week.
