is announcing a deal we are very excited about in this deal we sendP Webster, Allen, $0.5m (P-n/a) yanks pay for 2012CI Olt, Mike, $0.5m (P-n/a) yanks pay for 2012 OF Bradley, Jackie, $0.5m (P-n/a)SP Chafin, Andrew, $0.5m (P-n/a)to in return we receive OF Wheeler, Tim, $0.5m (P-n/a)CI Phelps, Cord, $0.5m (P-n/a)We do this deal because we are BIG believers in Wheeler saw him play last year in Tulsa and we are convinced. We just hope our scouting eye isnt wrong. Ton of power and we love guys like that in New York to confirm
Orioles Confirm. Oudan has been after wheeler for quite a while and he was finally willing to meet my asking price. Olt showed potential in A+ this year but had a broken collarbone shorten his season. Webster did good in AA after dominating A+ to begin the year. Bradley and Chafin were supplemental 1st rounders this year who will hopefully develop into top prospects and move fast. Oudan threw in the money for this year to keep the money in the deal even for this year. It was tough to give up wheeler but I feel in the longterm this deal will help the Orioles.
The rules were never changed in the rulebook. Shooter is correct in this matter. The RC has discussed in the past changing the trading of recently drafted players. I believe this year we agreed to make it 6/1 ( no power, not searching the site). Since it has been allowed in the past, and the rules have yet to be changed, I am going to have to suggest the TC value this trade based on the merits of the players involved. In my personal opinion it is pretty dumb to not allow trading draft picks but allow trading guys who were just drafted. I for one am of the mind that entry draft players should fall into the category of off season acquisitions. I will bring this before the RC, in hopes that it will officially be changed. In the meantime, please repost the trade this this thread gas gotten too long.Thanks - Dan
