Arlington Bureaucrats and London Underground

November 22nd, 2008

Arlington receives:
LF Hugh Murray (18, SS-A) - minor league contract

London receives:
SS Rob Sullivan (23, AAA) - minor league contract

Since Then:
Murray has shown the ability to hit for a high average at Arlington's Class-A and AA affiliates in the '09 season. Possessing only the ability to hit for a high contact, Murray is a one trick pony that makes it hard for him to stick in the big leagues.

Sullivan has struggled offensively in '09 at London's AA and AAA affiliates. Excellently defensively, Sullivan's lack of offensive skills make him a one dimensional player. With the exception of being a defensive sub, it will be hard for him to make it to the big leagues.

New Orleans Trendsetters and London Underground

July 14th, 2008

New Orleans receives:
3B Dominic Gagné (29, ML) - $4.9

London receives:
LF Daron Little (37, ML) - $2.3
1B Morimasa Sasaki (24, AAA) - minor league contract
SP Felipe Rodríguez (22, SS-A) - minor league contract

Since Then:
Gagné flourished with New Orleans in 68 games. He batted .313 with 17 homeruns and 49 RBIs after the trade while helping New Orleans win the 2008 PEBA Championship, He became a free agent after the season but was not signed until Reno after 3-year deal mid-way through the '09 season (8/15/09). Overall, he rates as an above average switch hitter with competent skills at the hot corner.

Little played decently for London. He hit .260 with 10 homers and 30 RBIs in 72 games. He retired after the '08 season.
Sasaki has played solidly for London's farm system in '08 and '09. A steady average player all along, Sasaki appears better suited as a minor league veteran than big league player.
Rodríguez has pitched well during his stint's at London's Class-A affiliate in '08 and '09. He has struggled since his promotion to AAA in '09. He grades out at best as a big league bottom rotation pitcher.

Kentucky Thoroughbreds and London Underground

July 14th, 2008

Kentucky receives
3B Josh Emery (26, ML) - $2.5

London receives
MR Powell Lilley (22, ML) - $0.38/$0.38/arbitration/arbitration/arbitration
LF Toyozo Ishihara (34, AAA) - minor league contract

Since Then:
Emery played miserably in 57 games with Kentucky after the trade. He batted a dismal .210 along with 5 homeruns and 27 RBIs. After the '08 season, he signed a 1-year deal with Nezahualcóyotl of the Alianza Béisbol Al Sur de la Frontera where he played exceptionally well. As of the '09 season, he has been unemployed.

Lilley pitched well for London after the trade. In 26 relief appearances, he went 4-1 with a 2.67 ERA. He was traded to Kalamazoo early in the '09 season (5/17/09). In his young career, Lilley has been inconsistent showing flashes of brilliance while other times making managers pull their hair out.
Isihara appeared in 58 games with London in '08. He hit .228 with 4 homeruns and 13 RBIs. He signed a 2-year deal worth $1,710,000 with Niihama-shi of the League of the Rising Sun in the '08 offseason (12/08/08).
