We've brought back Jose Morales, a lefty reliever we traded to Oakland back in the spring. After a great season for the A's, they inexplicably put him on waivers so we claimed him back:
We traded him along with Joel Gird for Tim James, a fire-balling reliever with some control issues who was exactly as we expected with AA Montgomery this year (82 Ks and 25 saves in 43 IP, but with 29 walks). Morales meanwhile was outstanding this season earning 1.5 WAR and lived up to the promise he failed to show with us. I expect him to be a significant part of next year's bullpen.
