Arlington receives:
SP Minoru Kudo (23, AA) - minor league contract
Canton receives:
2B Frederick Craig (26, AAA) - $0.39/arbitration/arbitration
Since Then:

Since joining Duluth's rotation in August, he has gone 3-5 with a 4.64 ERA in the '08 season. He rates as the #46 prospect in baseball (4/06/09).

Craig had a solid '09 season at Canton's AAA affiliate. A slightly below average ballplayer, Craig projects at best to be a big league bench player.

November 2, 2008
Arlington receives:
SP Kevin Hollins (22, A) - minor league contract
Manchester receives:
2B Juan Ríos (25, AAA) - minor league contract
Since Then:
Hollins has had an average '09 season at Arlington's AA and AAA affiliates. He appears to not have a big league make-up. At best, he rates as a big league mop-up reliever or 5th starter.
Ríos has had a subpar '09 season spending time at Manchester's AAA affiliate and big ball club. He projects to be nothing more than a utility infielder and possibly even better suited as a career minor leaguer.

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.

Bakersfield's 3rd round 2009 draft pick (1B Ed Shaffer - 22nd pick)

Bakersfield receives:
SS Francis Hampton (28, ML) - $0.38/$0.58/$0.58
C Gabriel Camacho (22, AAA) - minor league contract
Since Then:
Nuesink played poorly at Arlington's AA affiliate. He was released in the offseason (10/24/08). He projects to be a career minor league catcher.
Shaffer has struggled in his first SS-A minor league season. A good defensive 1B, he rates as average on offense. He projects to be a borderline big league player.
Jackson has played well in '09 in Arlington's farm system. He has a chance to develop into a big league player one day but his talent ceiling appears to be average.
Hampton batted .255 while providing solid defense in a utility role for Bakersfield in '08. As of '09, he remains a steady serviceable utility infielder for Bakersfield.
Camacho hit .261 and provided steady defense in 45 games in '08 with Bakersfield. Named the #46 prospect as of 4/06/09, Camacho has improved in the '09 season. An all-around catcher, he has grown to provide an above average bat along with good defense behind home plate.

San Antonio receives:
SP Jeremy Hann (19, AA)
Manchester's 3rd round 2009 draft pick (LF Tyrone Miller - 9th pick)
Since Then:
Fujita went 6-3 with a 3.23 in 12 starts with Manchester in '08. He remains with Manchester in '09 and has pitched solidly. Overall, he rates as a dependable middle of the rotation starter.
Hann has pitched pretty well in San Antonio's farm system. However, he has suffered a severe setback in '09 with a torn labrum that will put him out of commissioner for at least 12 months (7/11/09).
Miller has struggled in his first SS-A season in '09. A solid defensive outfielder, Miller projects to be a big league platoon player or 4th outfielder.
