http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd ... d=10826638Wise came up through our system many moons ago (he'd been Rule V'd from the Reds in 1999), and has carved out a career as a AAAA guy and saver of perfect games. This move makes no sense to me as our AAA outfield is fairly crowded, and Loewen and Thames are making a push for promotion. No idea who is getting their walking papers in Las Vegas as a result.

Although Snider is coming back at some point.

Perhaps, but Reed is a competent fielder as well...UZR/150 of 7.0 in center, though his numbers are inexplicably bad in left and right. And where Wise can't hit at all, Reed can slap the ball around a little.

I can see us trading 1 of our OFs. Maybe Reed for a Pitcher.

Must be a move coming soon. IF we sweep the Yanks I bet AA has something up his sleeve that gets done in the next few days. This makes no sense otherwise.
