Sand Gnats/ Javelinas Trade

[Sand Gnats (Matthew)]

The Salem Sand Gnats Trade

SP- A.J. Burnett 2014: $7.5M 2014: $15M (CO)
(18) Deivi Grullon C (Phillies)
(21) Cody Kukuk LHP (Red Sox)

To the Peoria Javelinas for 

SP- Chris Young 2014: $1.5M 
UT- Billy Butler 2014: $8M 2015: $12.5M (CO)

Javelinas to confirm, thanks for the quick and easy talks Scott and good luck with the kids. 

If I'm going to go for it, then it's all hands on deck. Young should be an upgrade over Burnett down the stretch, hopefully he will be. While Butler only needs 4 more games to qualify at CI the rest of the season and who knows, maybe he'll hit like he has this week and the option won't seem so large.

This deal may make my Ortiz deal now seem odd, but at the time I wasn't waiving the white flag yet.

Grullon is 18 and already the phillies number 8 prospect, granted a somewhat weak system.

Not many lefties throw in the mid 90's, so happy to get an upside guy even if he ultimately ends up in the pen due to control issues.

Javelinas Agree.
