#Angels swap international slot money with #BlueJays for Moran.

#BlueJays LHP Brian Moran (from Sea), mid-80s but lots of minor lg success, misses bats & throws a lot of strikes. Great chance to stick.

Nice! There's another lefty on the cheap. Really like Moran.

[bloodbrother]

Wonder if we'll start seeing this guy at the games. Looks like Moran's biggest fan

Valdivia might have a solid year in Burlington. Good choice.

Jeremy Berg is still with the org.    Yes!     Of course Dipoto and Scioscia have got to want to use him eventually.

There had to be so something behind that. Clearly he's going to have no interest playing baseball in his career now.

Possibly a PR move or maybe he can just work out with the team during Spring Training.
