Wookie Heading To The Desert

MLBTR:
According to Baseball Digest Daily, the Diamondbacks acquired reliever Jon Rauch from the Nationals for second baseman Emilio Bonifacio.

Bonifacio was ranked sixth among D'Backs prospects heading into the season. He's hitting .302/.348/.387 in Triple A currently. He's incredibly fast and plays above-average defense.

Darn. I always wanted to have a Wookie on the Mets, but I guess Mookie is as close as we'll get. As for the trade, I mean, you knew the Nationals were going to trade him, and it seems like they got a pretty good prospect in return, though I expected them to get more..

As for Arizona, it seemed like every time I saw a D-Backs highlight Brandon Lyon was giving up runs. They let Valverde go, thinking Lyon was going to be able to replace him, but it obviously didn't work out.

Also, Randy Wolf has been traded to the Astros. Playing in the best division, a billion games behind, and the Astros are still going for it. Good luck.
