Former Detroit Tiger first round pick Kenny Baugh was traded today to the San Diego Padres. In return they get low A pitcher Ricky Steik. Steik had a 2.40 ERA as a 21 year old in the Midwest League last year. He had 7.95 K/9IP against 3.6 BB/9IP. Steik was a 7th round selection in the 2004 draft.
As for Baugh, I’m kind of surprised to see him traded. I believe he had one option left. If that was the case he could have stayed in Toledo next year. I know he’s not the same pitcher that the Tigers drafted, but he was effective last year. I thought he could have at least earned a shot as a long starter.

They had to open a spot on the 40 man for Rogers.
in addition to the 40 man, Baugh was probably going to be the odd man out between himself, verlander, and zumaya. may as well try to reshuffle and come up with another starter.
I SAW THIS STEIK KID AT FT. WAYNE THIS PAST SEASON, BIG AND STRONG, HARD WORKER. BY THE END OF THE SEASON HAD A 92-95 MPH FASTBALL. ABOUT 6′4″ 225LBS. JUST 21 YRS OLD, FROM WHERE I STAND, HAS A BIG UPSIDE TO GET BETTER.
