Callaspo was at least at one time a well-regarded prospect. Is this a prospect swap?

Seriously, how do you make it in baseball, after 1986, with that name?

At least he's not a position player.

Heh, a day after I said prospect for prospect swaps happen so rarely you can safely say they never happen, one goes down.

 

I like Buckner a lot, I would have taken him in Round 2 after I took Stephen Drew in Round 1 that year. That said, I think that was the year Jack Z took some guy named Yo.

Wow, the entire time I was reading this post I was thinking KC sent Billy Butler to Arizona. Now THAT would be a fleecing.

Callaspo is a pretty good talent. but Arizona has a lot of other nice infielders. i wonder if Callaspo would earn a starting nod over grud (some more letters) at second? Gordon could end up at first, but is more likely to stay at third. I thought KC liked pena at short. it looks like callapso is stuck being a super utility guy once more.
