The Frostbite Falls Flying Squirrels and Arizona D-Backs have completed another deal, but this one is quite a bit smaller than the blockbuster including Johan Santana and Magglio Ordonez. In the third deal of the month for both teams, the Squirrels sent RHP Matt Garza and their 3rd round pick in the upcoming draft to the desert for OF Delmon Young.
"We're quite happy with this trade," said Frostbite GM Jack Zduriencik. "We picked up yet another top young (pun intended) outfielder. I challenge anyone to have a minor league team with an outfield as talented as ours. Jay Bruce in center, Justin Upton and Delmon Young at the corners. Watch out for our major league team the next few years."
The Flying Squirrels were clearly disappointed to lose a starting pitcher as promising as Garza, but they had a full rotation and they still have a few top unestablished pitchers in Tim Lincecum, Andrew Miller and Rich Hill.
Said Zduriencik, "And we might have a surprise up our sleeve to get another guy."
The Squirrels are also wondering how the water from Arizona got to northern Minnesota and made them max out on trades for the month.

Tabata, Maybin, McCutcheon isn't too bad in my own right. I might have a better farm system overall. Although your gift from Ronald was a nice add to your Triple A club
