Chicago-Baltimore Swap: McNeil for Martines: Newspapers in Chicago and Baltimore reported that the Bruins have reached a deal sending 33-year-old LHP Jake McNeil to the Cannons for 28-year-old RHP Rich Martines.

Thus far this season McNeil has saved 0 games. His won-lost mark is no wins and 1 loss with 6 strikeouts in 6.1 innings, along with a 5.68 ERA.

This season Martines has worked 7.1 innings in 7 relief appearances and picked up 4 saves. He has dished out 1 strikeout and walked 3 with a 1-2 mark and a 1.23 ERA.

Positives for Chicago: They gained their new closer.

Positives for Baltimore: They acquired a lefty reliever and a good veteran presence.

This takes the pressure off of Balderrama at closer, but he will still be put in important situations, being our new stopper.. Rich Martines looks like a pretty good player, so I was very happy to grab him. This slightly thins our starting pitching depth, as Jorge Sanchez will be the next man up to fill in for whoever sits. Note: Martines will be kept in DFA to allow Alex Ramirez to make another start, and also give Balderrama a chance to show me that he is worthy of remaining as closer.

Ft. Worth is our next opponent, and are currently flying up to Chicago. They have one of the ABL’s best starting pitching rotations, featuring Danny Ortiz (1-1 3.80 ERA), Justin Iverson (2-1 2.73 ERA), and Josh Teeters (3-0 0.84 ERA), all elite starters. Their lineup houses 2 threats - Sergio Camacho and Ricardo Santoyo.
