The Will Middlebrooks Era Begins

Roster moves
5/4/2012     SKWIRLS     Will Middlebrooks     farm     act.
5/4/2012     SKWIRLS     Daric Barton               act.     waiv.

Yep, and I gave him a 2-year $10 contract immediately.  Honestly, I actually don't expect anything from Youk this year and he may be traded this year (Oakland?) or leave as a free agent next year, leaving the door wide open for Middlebrooks.

How often in this league does your #1 draft pick come up a month after you pick him?  I mean, talk about instant payoff!
