Transaction time

Baseball America announced some transactions today.

Starting with the Mariners and some ex-Rattlers. Not releases!
Signed: LHP Eddy Hernandez, 2B Ron Garth, 3B Leury Bonilla
All were minor league free agents and the M's re-signed them. Of these three, I would guess the Hernandez ('06, '08) -- since he is will be in his first full year as a pitcher -- will be in Clinton at some point in 2009. The others, I don't think that Garth ('06, '07, '08) would be back for a fourth year in the Midwest League. Bonilla ('07) spent all of last year at High Desert.

To the Brewers. Here are their transactions:
Signed: LHP Lindsay Gulin, LHP Sam Narron, LHP Chris Narveson

Traded: OF Michael Brantley to Indians to complete earlier trade for LHP C.C. Sabathia from Indians for RHP Rob Bryson, LHP Zach Jackson, OF Matt LaPorta and a player to be named

Granted free agency: OF Laynce Nix

Reinstated from inactive list: RHP Wes Etheridge

Assigned to Arizona Fall League: RHP Omar Aguilar, RHP Jeremy Jeffress, RHP Alexandre Periard, LHP David Welch, LHP Brae Wright, C Lou Palmisano, C Angel Salome, 3B Taylor Green, OF Lorenzo Cain
Did not see any other ex-Rattlers on the list. But, there were a few names that Brewer fans will recognize:
New York Mets
Granted free agency: RHP Claudio Vargas

Colorado Rockies
Granted free agency: LHP Valerio de los Santos
Tune in again next time for Transaction Time

So, that IS the same Eddy Hernandez that loped around the outfield driving me nutts with his perceived lack of effort (and i don't mean the good way, like Eddie George in his prime looking like he wasn't moving very fast but he was covering ground with those long strides...) for a season at FCS and then not quite a half season at TWCF@FCS?
