[weams]

http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/ranking-the-prospects-traded-at-the-deadline/

Jonah Heim, C, Tampa Bay Rays (report)

Traded from BAL to TB for Steve Pearce

Summary: Plus arm and solid overall defensive package with pretty swing but subpar in-game results.

Ariel Miranda, LHP, Seattle Mariners (report)

Traded from BAL to SEA for Wade Miley

Summary: Potentially late-blooming athlete who has been up to 95 with inconsistent but intriguing slider/split combo.

You left out their overall rating. 50 is league average.

Miranda got a 40 which is below a #5 starter and a relied pitcher.

Heim got a 35 which is "emergency call up."

Miranda is starting for Seattle on Thursday.

Should I start a freak out thread about how he's going to be the next Arrieta, and DD doesn't know what he's doing?

You could definitely get in on the ground floor.
