It isn't a big deal by any means, but I cleared up a 40-man spot by sending Marty Roberts to the Sailors for 19-year-old center fielder Tony Mullis. Roberts was in Milwaukee, but he debuted last season for us and could help the Sailors in their pennant quest. Bobby Bond is currently in right fielder, and he's hitting .269/.310/.388 (78 OPS+) with 2 homers and 39 RBI's. Bond is also one of just four outfielders on the active roster, and since he's a lefty and Roberts a righty, they could platoon while Roberts also helps fill in at left and center. The return is 1936 5th Rounder Tony Mullis, who's had a rough season in Class B Miami. I'm in need of a center fielder down in La Crosse, so he'll have a chance to face easier competition. Mullis is projected to have plus contact potential and speed and my scout views him as a future big leaguer. Mullis was one of the guys I had an eye on for last draft and he currently ranks just outside the top 200 at 214.

Earlier, however, I decided to send Jonah Brown back to the Foresters to bring up Luis Sandoval from Milwaukee. It won't be his debut, he made four not so great starts for the Dynamos last season, but was dominant in 19 starts for the Blues. The 24-year-old was 6-5 with a 2.66 ERA (126 ERA+), 1.09 WHIP, 29 walks, and 57 strikeouts. He's got the tools to start, but he'll function as the stopper in our pen. If Lyons or Morse start to struggle (or someone gets hurt), Sandoval may see a few starts. This had a ripple effect as well, as last year's 6th Overall Pick Pete Papenfus will move to AA Mobile. Pete ranks as the best pitching prospect 4th best overall prospect in the game and was 6-4 with a 4.06 ERA (110 ERA+), 1.40 WHIP, 49 walks, and 69 strikeouts in 93 innings pitched. OSA says he'll be ready next year, but my guess is we don't see him in Chicago until 1939.
