+/-

All The Wrong Cubs
+Chad Gaudin
-Delmon Young, $2

The ATWC squadron is a lean, mean machine, now down to the bare-ass minimum of 9 hitters. Jettisoning Young could be considered addition by subtraction, for what it's worth. Whether you call it a sophomore slump or a rookie ripoff, Delmon Young ain't getting it done at the plate. Despite the fact that he's occasionally platooned vs. LHP and has 14 less at-bats than Young, Brad Hawpe has earned more points, plays in Colorado and can hit the ball out of the infield.

The Consummate Bastards
+Dustin Pedroia
-Aaron Hill, $1

Pedroia hit .182 with only 3 doubles during all of last April before going .333 for the rest of the year, adding 36 more doubles along the way. Maybe he's ended his slumping a little earlier this season.

The Darned Sox
+Randy Wolf
-Carlos Delgado, $1

With Derrek Lee leading the way among all firstbasemen in the league, and there being plenty of other credible options for the DH slot, and there being little to no hope that he'll ever rebound to close to his previously excellent numbers and production back when he was in Canada where they have a little something called 'freedom of expression,' Carlos Delgado is no longer needed for the Sox.

Bucketheads
+Matt Garza, BJ Ryan
-Jack Cust, Manny Corpas, $2

While the man he was traded for on the field was let go by the ATWC this week, Matt Garza was picked up by the Buckets yet again by the Buckets. So far this year, Garza has been outscored by 34 of the 37 pitchers drafted after his selection in the 11th round. Joining him in acquisitionville this week is BJ Ryan, who was outscored by 87 of the 90 pitchers drafted after his selection in the 2nd round of the 2007 draft. I'm sure they'll have a lot to talk about.
