Don't know how I missed this question. Sorry. Yes trade only require 2 of 3 Trade Committee member's approval. TC consists of Cards, Marlins, myself(Reds)

The White Sox extend a warm welcome to the new Orioles GM by trading Carlos Quentin ($3.5m 2012) and Neftali Feliz (P-n/a) for Nick Markakis ($11m 2014) and pick #2-2.
Orioles to confirm

As you should... It was a swap of some great young players - only time will tell how it works out, and the consensus view on a prospect is hardly an exact predictor (neither Beckham nor Feliz are sure things).

Exactly. Speculation on prospects is scary. Jay Bruce came thru the system and was MiLB POY. Had a good rookie year and then 2009...ouch. I had an asset and, I think, turned it into two assets. Time will tell.

Brewers by far in my opinion.  Puljols and Beckham.

I don't understand the infatuation with Gordon Beckham. Absolutely a good infielder. Compare with McGehee:
  G    AB  R    H   2B 3B  HR  RBI    TB    BB   SO  SB  CS     OBP      SLG     AVG   
 116 355 58 107  20  1   16   66   177   34    67   0   2      .360     .499     .301

Beckham:
 103 378 58 102   28 1   14   63   174   41    65   7    4     .347      .460     .270
Pretty much comparable and McGehee fended off Gamels who was supposed to be the Brewers top 2 or 3 prospect. Yes, I'm thrilled to get him a N.Feliz for Beckham and a 2A pitcher

 

I understand and agree. A player like Dayan Viciedo would be eligible?
One question I do have concerning the Entry Draft- Will the pool be strictly those players selected in July 2010 or will minor league player not currently on our rosters be eligible also?
