Curious Trade

The Sox have acquired light-hitting infielder Alex Cintron from the Arizona Diamondbacks for minor league relief pitcher Jeff Bajenaru. Cintron has a slow overswing, but makes good contact. He's also got some speed and is decent in the field, beside playing his position a little too tall.

I've been behind KW and his trades in the past, and this one looks good on paper, but there is more to it. Look down the road - how will Cinton fit into this team's roster? For one, it looks like Gload and/or Borchard are finished. There is no way they are going to unload Ozuna... Keep your eyes open for a mid-season deal... Dye, sPods and Anderson - I think one of these guys could be gone by June. I also think the Sox might find themselves in desperate need of relief pitching.
