DoorMatts trade Brandon Webb to Ruffins

This trade announcement is brought to you by 7-Up, the Un-Cola. 7-Up - now that's refreshing.

In a refreshing change of pace, two CFCL veterans combined on a deal today in which a contending team sent significant major league talent to their trading partner rather than a package weighted heavily toward prospects and potential as had been the trend so far this year.

Today, David's Ruffins acquired pitcher Brandon Webb (.21-08), first baseman Dmitri Young (.04-09+), and a 2nd round Draft Pick in 2009 from the DoorMatts. In return, the Ruffins gave up first baseman Joey Votto (.10-09+), reliever Chad Qualls (.01-10+), plus prospects Gerardo Parra (.05-Mx) and Thomas Hanson (.02-Mx).

Whether this value-for-value approach will work against the Ruffins, since cometeitors have gotten more in exchange for less in terms of current-season production, or if it will re-establish the trend where non-contenders demand major league talent in trades, only time will tell...

Clowns Pitch In to Bulls' Title Hopes

The Candy Colored Clowns restocked the Graging Bulls' pitching staff with four fresh arms today, completing a seven-player deal.

Joining the Bulls will be starters Calros Zambrano (.22-10+) and Randy Johnson (.06-10+), relievers Takashi Saito (.21-09+) and Fransisco Cordero (.24-08), plus their 8th round Rotation Draft pick in 2009.

In exchange, the Clowns received third baseman Mark Reynolds (.09-09+), pitcher Clayton Kershaw (.05-10+), and prospect Fernando Martinez (.05-Mx).
