In a major deal today, Seattle today sent SP Thomas Cohen and two prospects to Saskatoon in exchange for the #2 overall pick in tomorrow's draft and young C Richard Heitz.
In addition to Cohen, who the Amigos ("Amigos" means "friends," for all you non-native speakers out there) expect to front their rotation this season, Saskatoon received top OF prospect Luis Ramon and China's own Guo-ning Qaio in the deal. Seattle also acquired Saskatoon's fifth round pick in the deal.
Acquisition of Saskatoon's first round pick now gives Seattle the two top selections in tomorrow's draft. (Here's hoping its a Steve Emtman/Quentin Coryatt type of day for Seattle.)
No, it will probably be an even worse draft. But, at least I'll get guys my scout likes. Then, when they don't pan out, I can dramatically fire him.
