[USML Announce] Adams Trade Puts Berliners on Eve of Destruction

[Brad Jansen]

ITEM:

Rangers acquired RHP Mike Adams from the Padres for LHP Robbie Erlin and RHP
Joe Wieland.
 Jon Daniels paid a hefty price, but the back end of the Rangers' bullpen is
vastly improved. Adams is quietly one of the most dominant relievers in
baseball, posting a ridiculous 1.66 ERA and 241/59 K/BB ratio over 217
innings dating back to the 2008 season. His success isn't just a product of
PETCO, either. While Heath Bell would have been a rental, Adams remains
under team control through 2012.

LOSER: Berliners no longer can count on struggling Neftali Feliz for saves,
but with plenty of FAAB money left after Rasmus theft, can spend plenty on
Adams next week.

WINNER: Red Hots. Congratulations to the 2011 USML Champions.
