It appears that Bob Rudyard didn't have time to settle to Montreal, after acquiring him from Las Vegas, Today Montreal GM, trade him to Minnesota in return they get 6th prospect CF Joe Guthrie and AAA SP Jaime Hernandez. GM said he was sad to let Rudyard go because he was amazing in Montreal 8-0 in the season and 3-0 in the playoff. But for the better and the future of the franchise, this is a move we have to do. I might regret this one next year, especially because we sent him in a division rival in Minnesota. But Minnesota had what we want and depth at the CF positon.
At 35 years old, Rudyard still had a great value, SP are so rare in this league. With his salary and his stamina, we thought that we could let him go. We think in the long run, Joe Guthrie will solidify our team. We him Dan Allen and Chris Fields our outfield should be performant. Guthrie has "All Star" potential. Jaime Hernandez might also be helpful as a number 4 or 5 starters. At the same time, team official have announced that they have submit an offer to Scott McGuiken acquire from FA in June, he finish 10-3 in Montreal. So our pitching staff should be something around this
#1 Raul Perez
#2 Austin Brown
#3 Scott McGuiken
#4 Ray Clay
#5 Lou Smith
Spot - Jaime Hernandez and Ed Gillespie
With Lou Latulippe at #1 SP prospect of the Club.
