BILL STONEMAN MAKES ANOTHER TRADE!
Our man has the fever! He has dispatched The Indispensable Josh Paul to Tampa Bay, where he will continue his apprenticeship to Joe Maddon.
In return, we have been given something called Travis Schlichting. A fourth-round pick in 2003, this minor league infielder doesn't seem more than organizational filler. He hit 252/304/335 in the Midwest League last year at twenty-one years of age.

Apparently, before every pitch next season, Jeff Mathis will emerge from behind the plate and gesticulate wildly, pointing to no one in particular, and in general flap around like a chicken. Our positional alignment will sometimes shift when this happens, and the batter will be horribly, horribly confused.
Oh, wait -- I guess that's not it. It's more about a cross-pollenization of scouting ideas. It's a great read, actually, so check it out.
