Top 3 Trades
Tacoma Aviators and Houston Astros
Tacoma gets Joe Camilli, a 22 year old SP that will not reach his lofty projections. Houston gets Ramon Koh, a top of the line SP that is still only 27 and in his prime. Koh deal runs out this season
Nashville Troubadours and Kansas City Royals Nashville gets Pat Forester, a solid young powerful 2B prospect that has questionable splits and glove. Kansas City gets Buzz Robinson, a player that had a hard time fitting in at Nashville. He played every position except pitcher and bats in every spot of the lineup. KC also picked up power hitter Enrique Lee.
Oakland Athletics and Pawtucket Primetimers, Honolulu Wave Runners, Tacoma Aviators Oakland decided to get younger and picked up defensive CF's Dude Piper and Peter Davidson, young infielders Bernie Martin, Raymond O'Sullivan, Jimmie Ugueto, and stud Benny Ozuna, an OF that is losing it in Willie Gomez and prospect pitcher that is almost out of options in Cookie Vazquez. They gave up cool guy Virgil Ayala and one of the best pitchers in the world Max McDonald to Tacoma; MVP candidate Enrique Lee and awful SP Hal Jacquez to Pawtucket; and 15 win a year SP Midre Mercedes to Honolulu
