SF sends:
CL Ruben Colon AAA AAA Still Has Potential
C Artie Slaughter AAA AAA Still Has Potential

ARZ sends:
SP Yusmeiro Petit AAA ML 16-14 Mid 3 ERA I think is working out as a #3/4 pitcher

The Deal - Currently I still think it worked for both teams but still need a little more time to fully evaluate it.

Yankees send
AAA C Francisco Cervelli Wanted a Back Up catcher - things changed with my FA signings so probably will not ever make it on my ML roster
R CF Chad Black AA Still Has Some Potential

Giants send
AAA SS Shawn Walker Bust

The Deal - I don't think this deal hurt nor helped either team. I think we were just masterbating ourselves here.

Giants get:
AA SP Chase Lirette No Longer On My Roster

Blue Jays get:
AAA C Matthew Klimas Seems so be a backup #'s .260/.319/.389/.708

The Deal - Not good for me but not a major impact loss.

Giants send
MR B. Sadler AAA AAA OK Potential
MR T. King AA No Longer on Team

A's send
LF M. Sulentic AAA AAA Has Potential but no slot on the team gives me depth
2B D. Murphy AAA Ditto
1B T. Ewing AAA Ditto

The Deal - Needs more time to tell the tale but right now another Masterbater.

St. louis trades:
K. Greene SS (ML) Took so ST Louis could dump salary I had the room
A. Kennedy 2B (ML) Took so ST Louis could dump salary I had the room
D. Jones CF (ML) ML had an OK first season - struggling this season
Brian Schroeder MR (A) A I should have moved him up - may have hurt is POT due to negilance - Small POT.

SF Giants Send
J. Flores 2B (AA) AAA May still have small POT
C. Valentin 3B (AAA) Bust
R. Meaux MR (AAA)No Longer With Team

Giants send
SP D Griffin AA No Longer With Team

Cards
MR B. Cox AAA Should but on ML team lost the numbers game since still had an option - Will be up next year

The Deal - Once again I think I came out ahead but would like to know what happened to Griffin because when the deal was first made I thought it was slightly in STLs favor

Giants send
SP M. Cain MLB 19-7 High 3 ERA WS Ring

Red Sox send
3B E. Duncan AAA Struggling in ML - but I think huge upside
CF S. Mojica A AA just promoted to AAA - huge upside
SS I. Rivas A AAA playing good at this level - Bige upside
CF C. Lin AAA Numbers with ML club .313/.338/.454/.791

The Deal - If one upside POT works out I think great deal for both teams

Pittsburgh Sends
CF Hill (R) AA Has POT
1B Galety (R) R may be a bust
SP Redmond (AAA) Bust until this year(so far)
MR Sharpless (AAA) CL ML numbers 3.34ERA Saves 69 15-13
2B Castillo (MLB) No long with team but was servicable for a couple of years

San Francisco Sends
2B Durham Lost Type B compensation
3B Marte Solid but seemly declining numbers

The Deal - I'm torn some ways it seems good for both teams and in some ways I think I can out a little worse.

Milwaukee sends
SP Jason Jennings (MLB) Current year 7-2 3.82ERA career 43-33 4ishERA
SS Ozzie Chavez (AA Huntsville) Will be a career minor leaguer for me if not traded

San Francisco Sends
CL Tony Sipp (AAA Fresno) Bust
LF Thomas Neal (A San Jose) AA may be a career minor leaguer

The Deal - If Jennings continues to do well this year I think I did well - If not then the trade was a non factor for both teams

Giants Send
CF G. Matthews Jr. MLB Salary dump

Cards Send
CF J. Edmonds MLB Upgraded to Matthews

The Deal - Good trade for both with minor impact

Giants
LF E. Martinez-Esteve (MLB) Career .283/.343/.439/.783
CF A. Richardson (AAA) Career .311/.360/.391/.752
P Jonathan Sanchez (AA) Bust

A's
1B Dan Johnson (MLB) Bust
C M. Collins (AAA) Regulated to Back Up Catcher .275/.315/.507/.822 Career .284/.329/.425/.754
CL J. Corchado (CAL A) AA probably a career Minor Leaguer despite some good #'s

The Deal - Collins was a nice pickup but over all I think I got my Arse handed to me on this one

Giants
3B A. Villalona NWL SA AAA still not good enough defensively to make my ML roster

Angels
SS O. Cabrera MLB Picked up in a bid to at least make .500 - Failed to do so

The Deal - Gave up a player that would not make my ML roster for a player that did not lead me to acheive my goal - Overall a non-factor deal
