DBacks Keep Trading
For the second time in just over a week, the Diamondbacks swap an infielder for a relief pitcher. This time, however, they move in the opposite direction.
Infielder Alex Cintron was acquired by the Chicago White Sox from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday for pitcher Jeff Bajenaru.
Cintron is a low on-base, low power guy. He's a good back up for the White Sox middle infield. Jeff Bajenaru has great strikeout and home runs numbers in the minors, and decent walk numbers, too. It looks like he missed 2002 with an injury, so maybe that took him off the White Sox radar. At 28 years old, he should be ready to help the Arizona bullpen.

Actually, I think what took him off the White Sox radar was not being one of their five starters who went nine innings in the post-season. I wouldn't be surprised to see them go with 9-10 position players on their bench ;-)
