Rosenthal notes
Ken Rosenthal has a new column up, with the big "above the fold" item being a look at the job Dayton Moore is doing in Kansas City, stockpiling arms in exchange for various spare parts.
Rosenthal includes this tidbit:
Left-hander Mark Redman seems almost certain to go to a contender. Outfielder Matt Stairs, second baseman Mark Grudzielanek and first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz are among the other candidates to be traded.
I'm curious about whether the Rangers are sniffing around on a Redman/Stairs combo, given their stated desire to get a starting pitcher and a bat without giving up the farm. It would be a low-grade upgrade, but I could see the Rangers doing it if the cost were nothing more than a couple of low-level live arms -- Kometani and Funk, or something like that.
Rosenthal also says that the D-Backs are probably not going to deal Luis Gonzalez, whom the Rangers were supposedly interested in.

Redman...
Also, since the start of June, he's brought his ERA down from 6.80 to 5.03 which would indicate he's actually pitched pretty good since the start of June. June he pitched 3.74 ERA with a 1.39 WHIP in 33.2 innings, and in July he pitched a 4.36 ERA with a 1.33 WHIP. On the whole, not too bad if we're counting on him as a 4th/5th starter.

I don't see how said spares suddenly turn themselves into hot prospects.
When the rangers sign spares they just get DFA'd later in the year or go quietly away next year. how come we never get prospects out of them?
