Listen, I’m a tinkerer, the sort that can’t leave well enough alone…

Some trades I made while enjoying a beer and a bowl of cracklins…

The Phoenix Suns have released a statement confirming the trade of 30-year-old 3B Pepper Grant to the Chicago Fire for 29-year-old LF Cash Crouch and 24-year-old minor league SS Maddox Wahlen. The deal was finalized today. I get rid of my error-prone, high strikeout guy with a cool name for a below average outfielder that doesn’t strike out much and an above average prospect with zero power. More importantly, ‘Cash Crouch’ is a cooler name than ‘Pepper Grant’. This is important to our on-air personalities.

Fans in Phoenix woke up this morning to learn that their team had traded 24-year-old 2B Curt Berryman and 28-year-old minor league RHP Will Pyle to the Los Angeles Galaxy. In return, the Suns will receive 29-year-old 3B Luke LaBonte. Okay, this, technically, is a bad trade. But, I get a solid fielder to come off the bench. I don’t know that I need a solid fielder to come off the bench – I just kind of made the trade anyways. This is why I shouldn’t have cracklins.

I miss Pepper already... the club will miss his power, but we won't miss the lack of fielding acumen and his high propensity to strike out.
