Arlington Bureaucrats and Kalamazoo Badgers

July 31st, 2009

Arlington receives:
SP Pedro 'No Name' Chávez (26, AAA) - minor league contract
3B Roberto Ortíz (21, A) - minor league contract
Kalamazoo's 4th round 2010 draft pick (SP David Gutiérrez - 17th pick)

Kalamazoo receives:
MR John Page (27, ML) - $0.39/arbitration/arbitration/arbitration

Since Then:
Chávez started 5 games with Arlington during his September callup in '09. In 25.1 innings pitched, he went 1-3 with a 5.68 ERA for Arlington. Showing flashes of brilliance in previous years, Chávez's inconsistency and inability to put it altogether makes him an unreliable below average pitcher. He needs to prove he belongs in the big leagues soon before his opportunities wear thin.
Ortíz's play down at Class-A in '09 tapered off after the trade. Defensively, he has the tools to develop into a versatile utility infielder. Offensively, he has shown low minor league pitcher but it remains to be seen if he can continue to hit at higher levels. Rated with limited upside, Ortiz at best projects as a fringe big league player.

Page appeared in 24 relief appearances with Kalamazoo in '09 after the trade. He went 0-0 with a 4.44 ERA in those appearances. Overall, Page has been a dominant reliever in year's past but has shown some vulnerability in '09. Possessing good stuff and amazing movement on his pitches, Page's inconsistent control makes him vulnerable. It remains to be seen if '09 was an off year or a trend.

New Jersey Hitmen and Kalamazoo Badgers

September 26th, 2008

New Jersey receives:
RF Gregory Arnold (26, ML) - $8.4

Kalamazoo receives:
SS Kien-lung Hsiao (22, AAA) - minor league contract
MR José Martínez (21, AAA) - minor league contract

Since Then:
Arnold played well in 5 games with New Jersey before the '08 regular season ended. He was retained after the season and since then has signed a 5-year deal with Gloucester worth $53,560,000. An '09 All-Star, Arnold is one of the game's great players. He plays his outfield position well and is dangerous with the bat.

Hsiao was traded to London early in the '09 season (5/17/09). Named the #81 prospect in PEBA (1/29/09), Hsiao has played well since his big league callup with London in '09. Average with the glove, his strength lies in his ability to make contact and drive the ball in the gap.
Martínez has pitched decently at Kalamazoo's AAA affiliate in '09. He may develop into a big league reliever but he rates as an average talent.
