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.

Atlanta at Over .500 23 games in.
With over 1/8th of the season over with the Tartans stand at 12-11 and 2nd place in the AL South standings. This start is surprising as early in the winter Atlanta general management made it clear that the team would be building to the future. In doing so Atlanta traded away a premium bullpen arm, a starting catcher, and two ML ready arms.
Could this start prompt the Tartans to rush a few of their top prospects to help fill out the big league club? We will have to wait and see.

Tartans sign international prospect.
Yesterday the Atlanta Tartans signed Julio Andujar to a minor league contract with a signing bonus of $1.8 million dollars. Andujar is a well rounded SS out of Maneadoro, MX. At 18 years old it will be several seasons before fans can hope to see Julio contribute at the Major League level.
