With the deadline fast approaching, trade talks seem to be the only talks in the dugout. Heath Bell, Ryan Ludwick, and Mike Adams are all candidates for a last minute trade, but no one is exempt. Bud Black discussed what would happen in the event of even today's starter Aaron Harang being traded within the next hour."In that hypothetical situation," Black stated." Anthony Bass would be the starting pitcher."
You just never know when that call could come, or who it could come for. Buddy himself was subject to just such a surprise trade. He was warming up during a game against the Toronto Blue Jays when his coach got the call that he no longer needed to warm up...he had been traded to the Blue Jays. From dugout to dugout in a matter of minutes. The intricacies of baseball pale in comparison to the unpredictability of baseball.
Speaking of unpredictability, Nick Hundley was out taking BP this afternoon. He showed up before the first group batted and ran the bases as well as threw to second a few times, with his throws appearing to be normal, if not just a hair lower than they normally are. He batted with the last group during BP and Buddy said he may very well be in a rehab assignment by early next week.
