It has been a few seasons since the Hartford Yellow Jackets were relevant when talking about AL Contenders. While they might not be in that discussion yet, they are quietly making a push to be in the playoff picture.
Last week the club made a bit move with the Pittsburgh Pranksters to acquire sp Ricardo Blasco and ss Douglas Roosevelt, both of whom will help bolster the teams playoff chances both this year and in the future.
To make this trade work the team had to give up top 3b prospect John Hayes, who should be very good once he reaches the majors, and back end starter Al Alvarado.
In the long run this trade may show that Pittsburgh got the better end. Today though Hartford did a great job of equipping their team with the ability to compete in the AL East, which boasts both the Wichita Black Lightning and the Kansas City Black and Blue Brachiosaurus.
