Dayton Moore is obviously convinced that we have pitching problems. His first two moves were to acquire more of it. First, he claimed Todd Wellemeyer off waivers from the Marlins and now he's traded (cash) for Brandon Duckworth, 30, from the Pirates organization and he will immediately go into our rotation.Duckworth was 8-3 with a 2.42 ERA. He gave up 67 H, 23 BB, and 57 K with Indianapolis this season in 73.1 IP. He's appeared in 91 games at the major league level during his career (66 of which were starts) with the Phillies and Astros—going 16-21 with a 5.34 ERA.
Kyle Snyder was designated for assignment—which just goes to show you what can happen to former first round picks. Snyder can be traded or claimed by another organization in the next ten days—although after his last outing against Texas, I'm guessing that won't happen.
