With all the injuries to pitchers we needed some more.

Trade #13:
CF Alfonso Garcia (23-S) to Toronto for SP Rex Williams (24-R).

Garcia is one of those no hit, good fielding types. Williams was a 4th round pick this past January. He is 4-4 with a 3.18 ERA for Syracuse (A). He might no be much, but it beats running 34 year olds out there for a last place team....

Trade #14
SS Ivan Guyatt (23-R) to New York for SP Ivan Sanchez (28-L).

Guyatt is hitting .308/.385/.404 for Vancouver (A), but does not have the range I seek in a shortstop. Sanchez is 7-1 with a 1.55 ERA for Columbus (A).

Sanchez was placed on the Beaver roster and Williams was sent to Vancouver (A). Neither is rested enough to start today. If Robilliard stinks it up, as we expect him to, Williams will take his place. SP Ellis Moffitt (34-R) was sent back to Vancouver without ever throwing a pitch for the Beavers.

San Francisco Seals (28-14 .667 tied for 1st place in the PCL West) at
Portland Beavers (17-24 .415 10.5 GB in 8th (last) place in the PCL West)

SF: Dave Batts (34-R 3-3 4.02) vs. POR: Warren Robilliard (26-R Major League debut)

Batts pitched a CG win against the Angels last time out, only allowing 1 run.

Robilliard was 4-2 with a 3.40 ERa in 8 starts for Vancouver (A).
