FOR JEROME WILLIAMS
Astros designated INF Brett Wallace for assignment.
The move clears a spot for the newly-signed Jerome Williams on the 40-man roster. Once a top prospect, Wallace owns a meager .242/.313/.391 batting line over 311 games in the majors. It wouldn't be surprising if someone takes a chance on him, but he remains a disappointment. Feb 6 - 4:42 PM
Jack Z has also painted himself into a corner at 2B and has demonstrated an over-valuation of RPs in the recent past. Santos for Franklin sounds plausible to me, and as an added bonus it mitigates the Jimenez payroll hit.
This is for all the bragging rights! Your predictions on who the Jays will sign, trade for, and trade before Spring Training.
Sign: Ubaldo Jimenez
Acquire: Nick Franklin
Trade: Sergio Santos
I don't think that threesome is ever going to be enough to carry a fantasy rotation in a 20 team league. But having said that, you should never draft for positional need.
