Default Rockies Trade Seth Smith to the Athletics

Athletics Acquire Seth Smith: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com

Quote:
The Athletics acquired outfielder Seth Smith from the Rockies for righty Guillermo Moscoso and lefty Josh Outman, according to the Rockies' Twitter feed.

The Rockies really like getting pitchers who don't fit their ballpark I guess

Nice work by the A's.

I like this move, Outman has some groundballyness and good heat for a lefty, and Moscoso has pretty good stuff, or so I hear. Not a bad return for a guy they seemed dead set on trading.

I guess if you aren't happy with your pitching, you get quantity??
