Stick Him In A Speedo And Take Him To South Beach!

Wes Helms has been traded to Florida, as per Ken Rosenthal and several other places.

Helms was designated for assignment earlier this week, and the Phillies had a limited time to trade him before he just became a free agent. Florida knew that Helms would opt to go to a contender if possible, so they jumped the gun and made a move. The Phillies will receive a PTBNL. I'm going to make a list of guys on Florida's minor league DL. If it's a player to be named, it's either someone that's currently injured or a 2007 draft pick.

AAA P Kenny Baugh
AAA P Tim Corcoran
AAA P Dallas Trahern
AAA P Ross Wolf
AA P Matt Yourkin
A+ P Eric Basurto
A+ P Jason Iehl
A+ P Timothy Wood (Suspended)
A P Rodolfo Encarnacion
A P Blake Jones
A P Joshua Roberts
A P Sandy Rosario
A C Daniel Santin
A 3B Matt Dominguez
A SS Guillermo Martinez

If we get a guy from that list, it'll probably be a pitcher. It's really unlikely they trade anyone in AA or above and probably not their 2007 first rounder, Matt Dominguez.
