Major League Baseball:

Jeremy Affeldt - Colorado Rockies - 4-1, 2.65 ERA, 34 IP, 40 G(who woulda thunk they'd have been on the better end of the Affeldt/Bautista-for-Shealy trade one year later?)http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=346793

Gabor "Paul" Bako - Baltimore Orioles - .211 BA, 1 HR, 6 RBI, 109 AB's (2006 Royals Part Deux).

http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=111838

Shawn Camp - Tampa Bay Devil Rays - 0-2, 5.67 ERA, 33.1 IP, 44 G (struggling a bit after fair start).

http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=429841

Chad Durbin - Detroit Tigers - 6-3, 4.25 ERA, 84.2 IP, 17 G, 14 GS (serviceable...it's weird how we despise this guy. For his ineptitude in K.C....how much fault was it his, and how much was it ours?)
http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=239795

Jermaine Dye - Chicago White Sox - .220 BA, 12 HR, 38 RBI, 259 AB's (the beginning of the senior slide?)

Ruben Gotay - New York Mets - .317 BA, 3 HR, 12 RBI, 63 AB's (.256-2-13-82 in AAA New Orleans...Gotay-for-Keppinger not looking good thus far)
http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=430905

Tony Graffanino - Milwaukee Brewers - .249 BA, 6 HR, 19 RBI, 169 AB's (borderline replacement-value production from the vet middle infielder).
http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=115017

J.P. Howell - Tampa Bay Devil Rays - 1-3, 6.62 ERA, 35.1 IP, 7 GS (one of only two quality starts a dominating performance against KC...rather embarrassing)http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=434442

Raul Ibanez - Seattle Mariners - .270 BA, 6 HR, 49 RBI, 278 AB's (producing well, but the .321 OBP/23 BB are a little low)
http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=116380

Mike MacDougal - Chicago White Sox - 1-3, 6.23 ERA, 21.2 IP, 31 G (starting to come around a bit)
http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=213680

Rudy Seanez - Los Angeles Dodgers - 5-1, 3.15 ERA, 40.0 IP, 38 G, 12 BB, 40 K (pitching well in a pitcher's park)
http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=121955

Brian Shouse - Milwaukee Brewers - 1-1, 3.20 ERA, 33 G, 19.2 IP (not bad)http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=122195

Kyle Snyder - Boston Red Sox - 1-1, 2.61 ERA, 31.0 IP, 27 G (Despite the pedestrian 24:16 K:BB ratio, it looks like he's found his niche in limited duty. Props to the Red Sox for using him wisely.)http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=216897

Matt Stairs - Toronto Blue Jays - .297 BA, 13 HR, 33 RBI, 185 AB's(Who would you rather have manning LF at Kauffman? Him or Emil Brown? Looks like the Stairs-for-Diaz trade was quite a clunker for Moore).
http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=122644

Jeff Suppan - Milwaukee Brewers - 8-7, 4.90 ERA, 112 IP, 18 GS (innings eater)http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=122987

Jamie Walker - Baltimore Orioles - 1-1, 3.16 ERA, 31.1 IP, 43 G (wonder if he teaches sidewinder-style out at Mac-N-Seitz)http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=123828

Todd Wellemeyer - St. Louis Cardinals - 2-2, 6.37 ERA, 53.2 IP, 23 G, 7 GS (not good once again for the burly righty).http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=425487

Jay Witasick - Oakland Athletics - 1-0, 3.75 ERA, 24 IP, 26 G (21:14 K:BB a little ugly...released by A's on 6/7 and signed with D-Rays on 6/12)http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=124482

Jamey Wright - Texas Rangers - 2-2, 5.55 ERA, 24.1 IP, 5 GS (AAAA pitcher)http://mlb.mlb.com/team/player.jsp?player_id=124604
