-Scouring the trading block, we found a name on there we didn't expect and it didn't take much to get him. Apparantely Marblehead CL and former All-Star Ki-hueng Song had worn out his welcome on the North Shore enough that the Magicians sent him to Newmarket in exchange for 1B Millard Watkins and minor league 3B Morgan Franklin. Song had not been happy this year, losing his closers role to Scott Hill, was 2-1 with a 2.36 ERA and five saves on the year. He had appeared in 23 games, pitching 26 2/3 innings, allowing 21 hits and 11 walks, while striking out 27. It was a down year compared to 2009, where Song was a Southern League All-Star, going 3-3 with a 2.98 ERA and 29 saves while posting a 51/7 K/BB ratio. Going back to Marblehead are Watkins, who has seen limited time in his three years with the Mules, hitting a career .169 (20-118) with one homerun and eight RBI. Franklin became expendable with the acquistion of Pablo Alvarez earlier in the year. Franklin was hitting .290 with seven homeruns and 34 RBI in 269 AB's in AAA Lousiville.

-Miguel Pineda and the Salem Witches have agreed on a four year contract extention worth a total of $9,852,000. On the year, Pineda is hitting .305 with five homeruns and 34 RBI on the year after hitting .283 with nine homeruns and 42 RBI along with 39 doubles and seven triples with 10 steals in 2009. He also has a fantastic eye, striking out just 25 times this year in 281 AB's and just 17 times in 487 trips to the plate a year ago.

-Portland sends 2B Cesar Muniz and a minor league OF to Gloucester in exchange for RP Will Klein and a minor league OF. On the year, Muniz was hitting .271 with two homeruns and 11 RBI in 131 AB's, his first season in the big leagues. The 31 year old Klein was 2-4 with a 4.09 ERA and 4 saves in 24 games this year. He has pitched 33 innings, giving up just 19 hits, while struggling with his control, walking 20 and striking out 38.

Next on the schedule, ending June are six games on the road for the Mules, the first three up north against the Orono Red Riot, followed by three in Durham to face the Oyster River Bobcats.
