Brewers lead busy day in trades
Five teams agree to three deals
Friday, December 9, 2011

Friday was a busy day in Major League Baseball in terms of transactions as three trades were consumated, including two by the Milwaukee Brewers.
In a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates, Milwaukee landed minor leaguers Joe Towns and Jose Moran in exchange for pitching prospect Don Jennings.
Towns, a 24-year-old switch-hitting secondbaseman, hit .267 with five homers, 55 RBI and 64 runs in 108 games with AA Altoona while Moran, a 22-year-old firstbaseman, hit .253 with 3 HR, 50 RBI and scored 54 runs in 110 games.
Jennings, 22, spent 2011 as the closer for AAA Nashville, going 6-3 with 24 saves and a 2.03 ERA in 48 relief appearances.
The Brewers dealt highly touted outfield prospect Norbert Sanderson to the Baltimore Orioles for catching prospect William Anderson.
Sanderson, 24, hit .250 with 7 RBI, 7 runs and 7 stolen bases in 39 games with the Brewers last year. In 100 games with AAA Nashville last season, he hit .296 with 15 homers, 76 RBI, 68 runs and 44 stolen bases.
Anderson, 20, was drafted in the third round of the 2011 draft and hit .208 with 19 RBI in 54 games in Class A ball.
After signing Zach Duke earlier this week, the San Francisco Giants found Doug Waechter to be expendable and dealt the 30-year-old pitcher to the Detroit Tigers for shortstop Jimmy Rollins.
Waechter, due $3.5 million in 2012, went 8-9 with a 2.96 ERA in 32 starts with the Giants last year. He has gone 61-70 with a 4.23 ERA over 190 starts with San Francisco over his six-year career.
Rollins, 33, hit just .201 with five homers, 31 RBI and 24 runs with 14 stolen bases in 97 games with the Tigers last year. Rollins, a career .263 hitter with 106 homers, spent the first 11 years of his career with the Milwaukee Brewers, spent 2010 with the New York Yankees and last year with Detroit. He was an All Star with the Yankees in 2004.
