HOU/FLA

[texas_tornado]

FLA gets:
SP Preston Franklin (92/93) age 25, arb after '82
2B/SS Jason Wood (85) age 24, arb after '82
RP Jamie Cheatam (80) age 26, arb after '82

HOU gets:
2B Kevin Safran (78/87) age 23, arb after '83
1B Alberto Hopez (73/94) age 20, draft day $
SP Jason Orrin (63/83) age 22 draft day $

This was a tough one to decide to deal Franklin, but as a flyball pitcher he's not a great fit in my ballpark, but should have success in FLA. I have depth coming up at SP, so I can afford to move a SP now rather than wait for the offseason. I loved Hopez in that last season's draft and he should be ready fairly soon to help me contend. Safran I like despite having dropped a couple times since being drafted, and Orrin is a nice piece to get into my system that I think has a chance to be useful.
