CHICAGO, SAN DIEGO COME TO TERMS
The Chicago Iron Pigs have acquired 25-year-old SP Daniel Wood and the Missions' 2012 3rd round draft choice for 28-year-old P Brian Pelletier, 24-year-old IF Rocky Weir, and Chicago's 2012 5th round draft choice.
Wood is 14-24 4.13 lifetime, while Pelletier is 35-33 4.75.
Weir spent last year at AAA New Orleans.
BACKROOM CHATTER
One thing I do have is a glut of 2-2.5-star middle infielders who are average to above, at best, defenders. Weir was stuck behind the line.
Pelletier went 11-7 4.04 when healthy last year, and is a lefty. He's 28, so we got younger, our scout rate both as 2.5 stars who've “maxed” out to date. The draft pick is not inconsequential. Wood, if he makes the club, it will be at the back end of the rotation, as a swing man, or he'll start in New Orleans.
