Houston's 1B prospect Dusty Huff is making the move to the new Atlanta franchise as part of a 5 player deal that was just completed moments ago. Huff is the #10 prospect in the SDMB and last year in AAA hit 19 HR's with 87 RBI while having a slash line of .355/.405/.602 while trying to learn 2B and SS. He has not progressed in learning the middle infield so he will be moved into the starting lineup for the Hurricanes and at 1B to replace Tabito Hara who was a complete failure at the position last season.
Also in the deal heading to Atlanta is 2B prospect Bartolo 'Noodle' Cordova, SP prospect Jack Kaiser, $4.5M and a 7th round pick. In return, Houston receives MR Billie Pheiffer and CL prospect Paul Griffith along with their 3rd round pick in the upcoming draft. Houston GM Willard Taylor was very excited with the additions of the Pheiffer and Griffith, but he was most excited with the 3rd round pick that he was receiving. He said, "It is like getting a second round pick seeing that Cleveland was so bad last season. I wish Huff, Cardova and Kaiser the best, but I think I can get someone much better than all three of them combined with this pick."
This deal should be completed in the next few days as Houston continues with their offseason rebuilding project. This has been an active start to the OOTP13 era and I think that the deals are just getting started as we head on to 2021.
