Transaction Roundup: Athletics, Medders, Pena, German, Brower
I woke up to a ton of small transactions this morning, so let's lead with them.
- In MLBTR-friendly transactions, the A's designated Lenny DiNardo and Kevin Melillo for assignment. The team made a bevy of other moves, though, recalling Travis Buck, Brad Ziegler, and Carlos Gonzalez, placing Joey Devine, Mike Sweeney, and Ryan Sweeney on the 15-day DL, and activating Kiko Calero and Eric Chavez from the DL.
- Brandon Medders, recently DFA by the Diamondbacks, has cleared waivers and has been assigned to AAA.
- Brayan Pena, recently DFA by the Braves, has been claimed by the Royals.
- Rangers RHP Franklyn German has refused an assignment to AAA, and will hit the free agent market.
- The Reds traded RHP Jim Brower to the Cubs for cash considerations. He has a double-digit major league ERA in limited time over the past two seasons.

C-GON IS HERE!!! Everyone everywhere shall be doomed!!! Alright now that that is out of my system, hell yes! Carlos Gonzalez is finaly in the bigs. The kid can flat out play ball. Other good news for A's fans Travis Buck has also been lighting it up in AAA.

I think the Royals have really helped themselves by acquiring Pena. He is an out of options catcher who possibly but I doubt could challenge John Buck and Miguel Olivo (although Olivo isn't doing to bad by Royal standards) I'm still waiting for the Royals to pull the trigger and trade of Dejesus...
