Former Red Comes Up Big

[runfreelrun]

Anyone notice that former Red farmhand Dustin Mosley pithced a gem last night for the Angels. 6 IP 1 ER 7 K, not bad. What did we get in return for him? Also, was this a DanO move or a Jimbo move. He would look good in place of old Milton on Sunday. Maybe we can trade Milton for him straight up. Yea like anyone wants Milton. Ugh.

He was a Reds farmhand.

Not for the big club, but got as high as AAA at age 22. Was coming into his own before he was traded away in 04.

He followed that campaign by winning a career-high 16 games in 2003.

Ortiz has a career record of 59-49 in 157 Major League appearances, including 137 starts. He led the Angels in victories in 2000 (8), 2001 (13) and 2003 (16).

Dustin it going to be a MLB pitcher for quite some time. I said it was a bad trade at the time and this news today certainly doesn't change that.
