Those pieces alone couldn't possibly get anyone who would help our roster. Kratz would be an improvement on their current backup catcher, though.

I think the organization is losing a lot of the goodwill in Buffalo with which it began the season, and a lot of that can be blamed on AA's indecisiveness with options. As I mentioned elsewhere, the Bison have set a single season team record for player movement, and it's only late July. They have had 61 players total on their roster, the single season record is 69.

Who gives a **** about Buffalo? This is what AAA teams are for.

By all means, let's create a climate where we end up losing the affiliation and having to go back to a place like Las Vegas. And by all means lets support an incompetent use of resources where options mean more that merit

So Francisco/Valencia platoon with Lawrie playing 2nd? Or Tolleson/Kawasaki platoon with Lawrie playing 3rd and Francisco and Valencia off the bench?

We would send Goins down to make room for him I guess?

Got a major league player back with a track record for crushing lefties. Can't complain (unless you're a Buffalo Bisons fan).

The former seems more likely.
I would also hope this spells the end of Goins' current run here, but we'll see.

Kratz is a good defender and can frame pitches, his bat might have improved a little bit and Hendricks has good peripherals in AAA, so we did give up some value
