Seattle picks up Danny Valencia from Oakland.

JasonHammel is a free agent

[Cdaniel]

Sources: Brandon Phillips is more willing to consider waiving no-trade clause this offseason than last, with only 1 year left on deal. @MLB

[tdawg87]

I'd love that idea if we had somebody waiting in the wings at 2nd.

I really like what the Braves are doing. They got Colon and Dickey on very reasonable deals and Walden has the potential to represent very good value too. As much as I think they'll improve a lot this year, they'll probably still be deadline sellers and all of those guys could have decent value in July.

[Docwaukee]

It's too bad we couldn't have gotten Walden or Valencia ......and convert them into starters.

Now the Braves need to sign Fister to complete their rotation.

Fister, Colon, then throw in some Dickey.

I'm 4.

Awesome, thank you.  As an Angel fan I want to see the Astros make this trade.  

I really gotta wonder what the heck the Astros are thinking. They are just a few good pieces away from being legitimate perennial contenders, with the lowest payroll in baseball no less, and they have sat on their hands. It takes a losers mentality to crater your franchise for a half a decade, so maybe we shouldn't be surprised if they let the fruits of their fans suffering wither on the vine.

Angels signed an interesting minor league pitcher today - Osmer Morales.
Had been in the M's system, got as high as A+. Only 23 years olf, 6'3", 200 lbs., RHP. 
In 115 games (plus 30 starts mostly in the last two seasons) over his career he has a 2.96 ERA during 328 IP with a WHIP of 1.14. 

He's been extremely consistent; these numbers from his career line haven't varied much year to year: 8.0 H/9, 0.5 HR/9, 2.4 BB/9, and 10.2 K/9.

Hellickson's taking the QO it seems. Nova's agent and others are probably pretty happy right now.
