Today the Tartans agreed to trade AAA starting pitcher Diego Gonzales (10-2, 2.50 ERA, 109 K in 108 innings) to the Detriot Teamsters for LoA SS/3B Julius Rocker (.337 AVG, 57 RBI, 35 XBH), AA SS Raul Cortes (.306 AVG, 64 RBI, 50 XBH), and AA pithcer Jay Valentin (2-8, 6.75 ERA, 67 K in 60 innings).
A major factor in the Tartans making this trade was again their focus on youth. Gonzales is 25 yrs old with 1 yr ML experience, while the 3 players acquired are all 21 yrs and younger.

Strategic Insight
(This area of the blog will be used to record key insights learned in the Branch Rickey World.)
In no specific order:
1.) Don't under estimate the value of a good coaching staff, they can turn a dud into a competitive squad, etc.
2.) Pitching settings are one of the most important controls in the game: particularly the Call Bullpen setting, which can dramatically improve any pitchers performance (use it to reward good ERAs/WHIPs and improve bad ones).
3.) Pick a strategy that is unique and one that you can live with. (If you are in for the long haul then consider going young early, or you want to earn a free season get big league talent, just make sure you won't have regrets when your minor league system sucks.)
