Miracle Changes

In what was anticipated to be a non active winter meetings for the Miracles turned out to include a surprise move and another move not totally unanticipated. On the opening day of the meetings the Miracles traded their 8th round pick for Carlos Pena. Renner was quoted to have said that Pena will give us average to above average number in all categories with the exception of average. Does this mean the Miracles will not draft a 1B. We will soon find out. In their other move the Miracles moved 2B Aaron Hill and picked up a 10th round pick for him. Aaron just wasn't going to get a lot of playing time with us having Zobrist ahead of him on the depth chart. Better to move him to someone that may give him a better oportunity to play. The Miracle GM also stated that Ian Desmond may also be on the move. We like Ian a lot but with the chance of drafting Tulo in round 1 Ian could be expendible. We will have to see. The only other Miracle rumored to be on the trading block is Andre Ethier. He is another player we like a lot and this being a contract year we expect big things from him. As of now we plan on Andre being a Miracle this year and possibly next year as well.
