Nice, no Braves farmhands were taken.

Wrong, the Reds got your nice 7.12 ERA in Single-A pitcher Sergio Valenzuela. Boy am I depressed.

The chart was a little confusing.

I see Eric Duncan & Steven Jackson stayed put.

But did lose reliever Michael Gardner.

#28 in the AAA Phase Ben Fritz that was one of Billy Beane's moneyball draft picks, right?

[Dalkowski110]

I'd heard rumors Mets AAA reliever Steve Schmoll would be taken; I'm genuinely surprised he wasn't.

[redlegsfan21]

The chart was a little confusing.

But I still get to complain, the Reds released Jorge Cantu, a proven player who has shown signs of greatness for a pitcher who struggled in Rookie Ball and Single-A Ball. If he's on the team Opening Day, I may cry (unless he has a 0.00 ERA in Spring Training).

#3 in the AAA phase Ray Liotta - I hope he can find a Field of Dreams in Omaha. At least he'll get to play with some Goodfellas. :p


Okay I'm done now.

[mojorisin71]

Capellan and Dickey are both Rule V'ers? That's a surprise (at least to me)
